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 manual focus for macro photography and film photography. On my X-T5, the focus peaking is really good, so it helps a ton for getting focus right w/ my macro lens. Also there are sometimes instances where autofocus struggles, like low light, or if there’s a fence in front of my subject (like at the zoo), so I switch to manual focus to force it to focus on what I want rather than what is closer.

    On my OM-10, there’s just no choice but to manual focus lol. It works well enough.
