[QUOTE="Revet, post: 264306, member: 17612"] I have read numerous descriptions on this button and every time I read about it, I feel pretty comfortable on how to use it. Then when I have camera in hand and I want to shoot something where I think this button would be applicable, my mind goes blank. Add in the AE lock on or off in the menus and the number of possibilities is just too much for my mind to think about right before a photo. I think what would help me is what most people like to use as default settings. Then I can practice that, changing it when applicable, and forget about all the other possible permutations. I get using the AE/AF button as a rear button focus (fast action sporting events, etc) so don't worry about that one. Also I can see the use for the AE hold option in which you want to keep the exposure the same during a sunset or something like that. I guess what I am asking is how do most people like to use the AE/AF button, and the AE lock On or Off in the menu settings, as their default go to mode. From there I can figure out when to change it up. [/QUOTE]
