[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 256848, member: 9240"] There's a discussion in the D800 forum about using the back button for focusing and I didn't want to derail that discussion so I'm posting this here. I love the ability of the D800 to use both the shutter release and the back button to focus before shooting. I'm used to the half-press, but there are situations (like shooting in the cold with gloves) where the feel aspect of using the shutter release is highly compromised, and I'd much prefer having a back button available. Now I know the AE-L/AF-L button can be assigned as an auto-focus button, and I've done that on many occasions. I never use AE-L and would like to permanently assign the back button, but unfortunately I cannot find a way to get both buttons to act as AF buttons simultaneously. Is this possible on the D600? If so, I can't find it. I hate traipsing thru menus and will likely assign one of my User settings (which I also don't use) for back-button focusing, but would much prefer to have it available all the time. Help!! [/QUOTE]
