question for the one shot AF on 6D. Once the AF point is locked, we can recompose our shot and the point still remain in focus? does the subject need to be in one of the square or can be anywhere.

 

[SilentSeth]

The AF point will still be 'locked' as long as you half-press (default setting), and your subject can be anywhere, but whether your subject is still sharp is a different story as, depending on how you recompose, the initial subject distance aquired by the AF system might be different with the new distance after you recompose.

When you lock onto a particular focal point, a plane( imagine a 3D rectangular box the length and breadth of the viewfinder and the depth as determined by variables like your fstop, focal length and subject distance) is created. All elements in this box are in focus.

Does the focus run when you recompose?

It depends on how much you move your camera (and effectively the box) that determines if your subject will remain in focus when you press the trigger. So,if your recomposing results in the shift in the box and your subject is not in the box , you will end up with a photo of a blur subject

At very wide apertures like f1.4, the focusing plane usually changes when you recompose, and your shots will be off focus easily. I usually select my af point manually for such situations.

Only when the camera feels it's absolutely necessary then it will lower the shutter speed. Example is when there is too much shadow in the picture aka super ****ing dark. If you get what I mean.

Other than that it should maintain the minimum u set.
