I found that autofocus does at times "hunt and seek" as when I took a
picture thru the windshield.  The autofocus tried to focus on a bug-splat
rather than the sign in the distance.  I simply switched to user-mode 1 and
used manual focus. Pix on the 5700 are great and I don't miss my old Canon
AE-1.
