Re: Let's talk about AF for a while...

Moving from NX300 to NX1 I feel like it went from almost all the time to sometimes. With my NX300 BIF shots were basically required to have empty skies in the background for AF to get the bird. The NX1, while not perfect, is much improved. I do not notice a large change in this moving between lenses, but rather between shooting conditions, so I of course encounter it most with my 50-200. If the shots are not fast action, then a smallish AF box can be used, this didn't work well for me for BIF shooting because if the bird leaves the AF box for even a tiny time the focus would go off hunting to the end of the range, for other shooting small AF box is my tendency.
