Right-O!

Especially with the bodies that sport the new-fangled Eye detect. Just acquire focus and move your subject anywhere in the frame! What freedom!!!

use focus and recompose

vs

acquire focus and move your subject anywhere in the frame

Hm, sounds pretty similar actually.

On the surface maybe, but not once you try it.

Some things never change.

Eye Focus (Subject Detection & Tracking) has brought the biggest changes to Photography since the advent of Digital IMHO!

P.S. I am learning how to effectively use the m6ii's AF, so I do know there is a difference from my 6D days... the language echo was notable to me nevertheless.

The M6ii's AF is most effective when used the old-fashioned way IME. Spot AF and doing the tracking yourself.

Have fun!
