A few more practice shots

Challenging due to light shifting and lizard moving about. Taken from about 6 feet away - I was coming up the stairs and saw him in time to stop and adjust up/down so I was just slightly above his level.



Based on the shadow, it looks like his tail is completely stiff and off the ground out to its very tip ... he is looking at me



Now looking away, tail stiff




He's doing push-ups, a common lizard practice

What does it mean to have "315 points of phase-detection AF"?

I presume that it's better than having 300 but not better than 400 points, and better than out-of-phase, or no-phase detection. But does the scale of point counts go from 1 to infinity? The spec doesn't say. Does it mean the camera will focus on a fast-mo...

Point of focus... a simple case study

Point of focus really defines the plane of focus... For the most part with a dSLR my standard procedure is to specify the central point as a single-point-of-focus and then use focus lock via a back button... when I recompose there is the potential of an O...  

Simple answer would be that more autofocus points equals in less risk losing focus while tracking moving targets.

For notice: the size of the sensor is also important, which means an APS-C with 500 AF points is more capable in focusing than medium format with the same amount because of a different amount of coverage that the sensor surface gets. Other than that autof... 

Thank you for your responses

I'm enjoying playing with the autofocus ...
