Hi, I was shooting in Manual focus with my tamron 17-50, I sometimes see Center AF point blinking in Red when i focus the subject. I thought in Manual focus, they shouldn't be activated. Could someone clarify me on this?

Pete Just make sure that the camera is in OneShot mode (and not AIServo mode) or you'll be scratching your head wondering why it's not working for you. ...Leo
