[QUOTE="nickt, post: 592842, member: 4923"] It sounds like you are ready to try back button focus (bbf). The basic idea is that you set up your camera to [B]not[/B] autofocus with a half press. You will instead autofocus by pressing the ae-l/af-l lock button on the camera back. Holding that button down continuously gives you af-c mode, releasing the button after you achieve focus gives you a pseudo af-s mode so that you can focus and recompose. With this technique you have instant access to either focus mode. It takes a good awhile to get used to it but it ends up being a very valuable tool. To do this, set af-c mode. Set af-c to release priority in the menu. Then program your ae/af-l lock button to AF-ON. Plenty of threads on this here and other sites. [/QUOTE]
