I have to do a portrait shoot for a friend. My camera (Pentax K-30) allows me to focus in the following modes:

  • 1 focus point (center)
  • 11 auto focus points
  • 5 auto focus points

I haven't yet understood how to effectively use an 11- (or Nikon 54-point) focus mode. In my opinion, one focus point is the best to control the focus area, and the best method is to use a single focus point then recompose the frame.

In your opinion, which of the focus modes I listed is best for portrait shooting? Which of the focus modes I listed is best for portrait shooting?
