Jimmie,

I had another thought ... there is a menu option called "AF - area mode." Within this section you have three options: single area, dynamic area, and closest subject.

My camera always wants to revert back to "closest subject" which I don't particularly like. If you have a subject in front of you with their hands folded in front of them the camera will choose to focus on the hands because they are closest to the camera. I keep choosing "single area" and it keeps finding it's way back to "closest subject."

If because of certain exposure settings your depth of field is very narrow this will throw the face out of focus. In very narrow dof the tip of the nose may be crisply focused and the eye not. I like to focus on the eye.
