Most if not all EOS cameras will, if set to auto selection of focus point,
tend to select areas closer to the camera than those further away. Contrast
also plays a part. The point selected may well be not the one you would
choose in some circumstances. If you want to be in charge, turn off the
auto selection feature, and select the most important AF point for your
purposes. This also speeds up the AF process.
(However having all points active can help focus point tracking when
shooting moving objects such as flying birds.)
