I am trying to determine what focus set up is the most convenient to use under general shooting circumstances.
1) AF or DMC/ with Multi focus area:
Does not show a pre-focus square, so you don't know the focusing point.
Brings up focus tracking I don't use.
It can show a confusing number of different areas on which it is focusing simulthaneously.
2) AF or DMC/with Center area:
Does show a pre-focus square.
Brings up focus tracking I don't use
3) AF or DMC/with Flexible Spot area:
Does show a pre-focus square which is smaller than the other ones. Not always in the center of the LCD, but can be moved there with the Ctrl Wheel. This smaller focusing square could offer a more precise focusing?
It doesn't show up focus tracking, which I don't need
Possible conclusions:
I) I have the impression that the preferable way to focus is using AF with Flexible Spot area, with its smaller pre-focus square, which, I hope will indeed allow for more precise focusing?
II) As long as there is sufficient light I see no need to use MF. I have set the down Ctrl Wheel position to "AF/MF Control Toggle" in case I need MF in poor light.
(I did pose the above on another RX1 forum but, so far without any advise)
