> I kept having it focus on the wrong area, how do I get around that? Manual focusing is hard and I prefer the auto focus for sure. So what you do is autofocus on what you want, then switch to manual to keep it from re-focusing? I will have to try the manual mode and set my iso then adjust from there.

You can set your AF points in the camera too, maybe you have yours set to select all or something like that. I usually have mine set so the AF point is in the center of the view finder. After doing that then I do the AF on what I want, then switch to MF to keep that part of the subject in focus. It works better with stationary objects, not people that move around a lot.
