Greetings:
I am coming from a GH2 which is fast and furious with it's AF. I have caught a single bee in flight with it and the Oly 45mm wide open, no problem.
I understand the X-Pro1 has a shallower DOF so it's a more difficult challenge, both for it and me.
But I also see times when it chooses to focus on the most contrast, regardless of where the focus area is:
In that shot the focus area (set small, EVF) was completely inside the dog's body, yet the X-Pro1 back-focused on the more contrasty gravel.
Is it possible that if the contrast inside the AF area is low it searches outside the AF area for something to lock onto?
NOT BASHING, just trying to understand what's happening so I can adjust.
btw, these are not beauty shots, just me trying to learn the camera.
