How does this mechanism judge the image in question is in sharp focus? If
you have this focus confirmation, can you still take photographs bypassing
this check? The reason I ask is that because of the type of photographs I
take, I don't like any machine to judge if my picture is in focus. For
example, my subject, reflections on the water can be constantly moving.
How would the focusing confirmation mechanism deal with such a subject?
