Re: Canon 450D autofocus problems

When I shoot portraits where my subject isn't moving I have my focus mode set to "one shot", when I shoot kids portraits and action I have it set to "AI Focus" and when I shoot something like a soccer game I have it on "AI servo".

I think that my 450D needs calibration though because even when I'm in "one shot" single point AF, with still subjects, the eyes of the subject can be slightly out of focus. I have to say that when my subject is not moving, I have the best chance to get a sharp image
