I did a bunch of mock product photography on the weekend and started to wonder if my ideas on the autofocus point system on my 40D are antiquated or just plain wrong.
I turned off all of the AF points except for the one right in the centre of the lens - I do the shutter half-depress and then recompose method for pretty much all of my photos that allow me the time to do so, or otherwise just use the centre point to focus and snap right away. What's the best practice for a DSLR like the 40D that has multiple AF points? Should I be using all 9?
