I feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.

Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

    I use it when the auto focus is turned off.

    Seriously though, I do use it a lot. For example, if I’m shooting a hockey game. There’s 16 players on the ice and thousands of fans. All at different distances. As good as cameras are, it doesn’t know which person I want to take a picture of.

    Or if I’m shooting fireworks or stars or something at night with a long exposure. In the dark the camera is going to have a harder time focusing on what I want because it can’t see the thing I’m shooting.
