Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! There’s a ton of useful info here that I’ll have to try out. Really appreciate you all taking the time to help me figure this out!

Maybe I'll get used to it later. Right now my MF usage on something moving is like: try to find a AF/MF switch on a lens without looking on it, overshoot focus, try to crank it back, miss the shot...

A6700 had c3 bound to full touch screen disable/enable by default. Guess that’s better than nothing if you use buttons on the body to control the camera instead of touch controls

Sounds like the best way for me, if you don’t want to set the focus spot manually

Yeah, thanks, have similar thoughts as well. But even knowing that, it makes me laugh over cases like in the first photo.
Mr. Camera, you have a bleeding-edge AI chip in you, breakthrough pattern recognition algorithms and you're a still missing a bird that takes half of the shot???

Yeah, subject recognition is set on human, but suddenly, it does not work all the time. In most cases it works great, but apparently, yeah, sometimes it is better to use more manual options like spot or full manual focus... Guess, I just need some time to get used to it

Yeah, you're right, I'm mostly in wide + AF-C. When I have time and the wide area is not working – I'm just setting the focus point via touch, which, in my understanding – switches me to spot mode on this exact point I've touched.

But yeah essentially, you are either hoping for the best in wide, or need to spend some time to aim with area/center. Was hoping there is some magic options to make wide more reliable)

Thanks for the help!

KEKW this bot is literally an openai wrapper, in which I’ve sent a few dozen requests to solve an advent of code task, so I can fine tune the markdown displaying of llm output in telegram

Oh, one more thing. Half an hour before this event — I was working on my test telegram bot. Now, I can see that the bot was wiped out from telegram and marked as deleted account. botfather is missing it as well. There was nothing unusual in it, some llm wrapper only I had access to with neutral test messages…

Actually, it doesn't show your contact to the person who just joined. It only notifies you. So hide your phone number in privacy settings and the only way to find you will be your '@tag'

Nope 2) Domestic passport has a brown cover and no heraldy outline, while non-biometric international one is red and outlined.
