So now I've been trying to figure out the area the focus
sensor cowers.
What area does the spot meter cower?
The manual for the particular camera you use is a good place to look for the
answers.

Subject: How does the focus confirmation really work?
One more time I'm testing the wisdom of the list. This time I'll really
try
not to jump at you, if I don't like the answer ;-)
First a little background: When focusing manually I tend to back focus.
There is a pattern in this. Most of the time it happens it is when the
motif
is dark, surrounded by lighter area. So I guess my eye goes to the light
areas instead of the main motif.
I know many turns the focus confirmation off. I have had it on so far. I
think I'll get more support from it if I understand the limitations of the
focus confirmation. So now I've been trying to figure out the area the
focus
sensor cowers. Can somebody explain me this? Is it just the area the red
blinks cowers? Or is there some online recourse I could use to get this
information?
While I'm at it: What area does the spot meter cower? Online resources or
explanations on this too, please.
