Another pro, I am using manual focus and focus peaking. As it also approximates DoF, I have used it for a few portraits to make sure the entire face was in focus. But, also, I am using it for times with AF is having difficulty locking on.

Quick example:

For this one image, the palm dropped below the face. But usually it was obscuring the face and AF was trying to lock onto the palm. So, I dropped to MF, and used focus peaking to get AF on the sloth.

I do not recall, but this image is either a triumph of the AF, or I might have done something similar:
