Yes the area covered by the flashing points is in focus, but what if that is not the area you want? For example what if you want everything from 6feet to infinity to be in focus but the bottom focus point covers something 30 feet away. With type 1 you get the area you want or a flashing aperture value to tell that what you want is impossible. Thank you for you reply which I will keep thinking about.
