Default AF on the 1D3

Hey Guys ..

i've recently joined the ranks of the 1D bodies ...

but last night as i was play around with the camera to see how it will perform in low light .. i came across this issue or perhaps not really an issue .. but .. while shooting at home (settings were ISO-H, f/2.8 and about 1/20th or so shutter to get perfect exposure) without a speedlite attached, i was having issues getting focused on the eyes of my wife or plant that was for testing .. i've tried using the af-on or half press shutter and failed to get focused .. any idea?

is this normal? or did i expect too much from the camera? i dont remember if i had or tested the same scenario with my previous 5D ..

and the serial # i got from B&H is 569xx with the yellow dot.
