ok I found this on metering.. now I am real confused because when I first bought my camera. it was driving me crazy because only small areas were coming out in focus. so I took it to a camera store and asked them what I am doing wrong. and the guy said well you have your camera set up all wrong. and he showed me the metering mode and it was set on evaluative metering. and he said to only shoot with that if you have like a vase with a scratch on it and you want to show the scratch so you can sell it on ebay... and the partial metering was for if you wanted to shoot a portrait. and then the center weighted metering was if you want everything in the shot to be in focus. and the DF problem I was having would go away.
and then the 9 boxes on the camera he set to where only the center one will blink red when in focus because before you never knew what one would jump to focus. so ever sense my camera set up like that I have left it on weighted metering like he said. and only one center box will focus now. and i have not changed it sense.
he wanted to charge me $75 an hour for photograhy lessons but I turned him down on that :-)
