Best Answer

The advantage with auto focus over manual focus, is that it usually is much faster in focusing correctly. Imagine that you are going to take pictures of jogger running towards you. Focusing correctly on the runner while he is coming towards you with out auto focus is very hard. However an very experienced photographer with manual focus might manage this scenario also. While auto focus is desirable in many situation, there are situations where manual focus gives better control. The photographer should try to master both techniques. On a single lens reflex camera, it's essential to have a good viewfinder so you can see where the focus point is.
