[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 355433, member: 13090"] I use BBF (Back Button Focus) on my D7100 with D9 most all the time. I use AF-C with Priority Selection set to "Focus" most of the time but also use "Release" pretty regularly. I've not had issue getting or keeping a focus-lock using either setting. That being said, I don't shoot a lot of sports, or fast-action type stuff so your mileage may vary. What I've learned is that getting"tack sharp" photos out of the D7100 requires really good glass first and foremost. Then, if you haven't checked your preferred lens(es) for front/back focus, you need to. I found most all of my lenses needed some tweaking using the AF Fine Tune menu option in the Setup Menu which helped dramatically with some of my lenses and I *do* mean "dramatically*. I also use ISO 200 except under the brightest of bright conditions and faithfully abide by a shutter speed twice that of the focal length (eg. when shooting at 100mm shutter speed is not less than 1/200). That's a big part of why I shoot at ISO 200, there's no discernible noise and it helps keep your shutter speed bumped up a little bit, even at smaller apertures.
