On June 6, 1944 Capa was more into not getting a bullet in the ass than 
either image or focus. Since only 11 of the 109 images he shot that day 
survived, albeit in a damaged condition due to high developing/drying 
temperatures, All he could say was they were slightly out of focus.
He captured the image, but focus was left in a Life Magazine lab in London.

His 1936 "Death of a Loyalist Soldier" was all instant capture with no 
thought with regard to composition or focus. Just the instant captured.
Consider his "Lost negatives".

His work in Indo-China was a little more planned and somewhat focused, 
so much so his last roll of 35mm, shot before he stepped on the mine 
that killed him, was downright ordinary.
This was his last frame, after shooting this shot his next step 
triggered the mine.
