I feel like autofocus is so good. Are there times that you use manual focus? When I am looking through the view finder it almost seems impossible to actually manual focus a shot anyway.
Am I doing something wrong here? Just checking. Thank you.

I have an R5, and the manual focus is phenomenal on there. Weirdly though, I think I’ve only ever had to use it once. I was shooting with a model, and had hung plexiglass in front of her that had been hit with water from a spray bottle to simulate a wet window. The eye AF kept going straight to her, and even the point focus just went straight past the water droplets. Using manual focus, I could see exactly when the droplets were in focus because they were outlined bright red, making the shot easy as possible to capture. Slightly NSFW, here’s the final image.
