 Yes that's right, sometimes your camera appears to have a mind of its own and focus on "only God knows what!" Be attentive!!

Do you like my Eiffel Tower?? LOL

It's a Rebel thing..sometimes my XT does the same thing. It hunts...but the "auto focus set point" suggestion cures this. (Usually). What lovely statue of the Eiffel Tower! LOL!

LOL! What I do is set the AF Point (if you camera has that feature). That way, it will focus on that area when you press the remote shutter.
