[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 264695, member: 13090"] You re-assign the AE-L/AF-L button to the "AF - On" option; which means the AE-L/AF-L button now controls auto-focus [I]only[/I]; there is no Exposure Locking assigned to this button once you have re-assigned it to "AF - On". For BBF the camera is (typically, I think it's safe to say) put into auto-focus "Continuous" mode (AF-C) and you hold down the AE-L/AF-L button to activate auto-focus instead of the shutter release. To "lock" focus you simply stop pressing the AE-L/AF-L button. Yes. You auto-focus with the AE-L/AF-L and drop the shutter with the shutter-release button. Two buttons. I know, right? TWO... WHOLE... BUTTONS... ZOMG! In all seriousness, no; I don't have much issue with two buttons. It works exactly the same. You've just moved the auto-focus function from one button to another.
