[QUOTE="jayw, post: 673508, member: 869"] Recently switched to BBF. Still having issues getting used to it, but I will continue for a while trying to get used to using it before our family gathering next month. Here is my issue and not sure if this normal or if I have something set incorrectly. Once I acquire focus using BBF and then press the shutter release button to take the picture, the image appears on my display screen, but will not shut off automatically to allow me to focus on my next shot. I have to half press the shutter release button to close the screen. Once I do that, I can refocus using the BBF button. Yes I do like to "chimp" to verify all is well, but how do I get the display to close after "X" seconds so I can refocus on my next shot? To set up BBF, I went to menu -> Controls -> Assign AE-L/AF-L -> AF On I read Steve Perry's "The Back Button Autofocus Guide For Nikon Cameras", but this issue was not addressed as far as I was able to tell. The same for David Busch's "Nikon D5300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography". I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, so before I do a factory reset, hoping to get some answers. Thanks for your insight and help. [/QUOTE]
