Okay, I think I got it. :) Pascale, I do know exactly what you're talking about. My 20D has that also. It was the way to use that particular custom function that I wasn't clear on. I think I have it now. I tried it as Dan said, and for my type of photos so far it doesn't work as well. I'll be sure to do it that way for action stuff though. :)

Unfortunately, a lot of my problem is once I get the subject in focus, I end up moving a tiny bit before taking the picture.....or I move the camera when I snap the picture. sigh I'm one of those who needs a tripod constantly, but don't want to lug it around when I'm just shooting in the yard. Hinders my movement. Oh well.

Thanks for the explanations! Helped a lot. I'll let you know if it helped my focus problems at all. lol
