[QUOTE="hark, post: 256903, member: 13196"] When I had AF problems with my D600, I used the AF-L button, but didn't really know how it worked. I just tried doing the same thing on my D610, and it functions the same way: first I pressed the shutter halfway to lock the focus then pressed and held the AF-L button. The AF locked on. I can release the shutter button and recompose, but the shutter release no longer will focus the shot while the AF-L button is being held in. I can even totally switch to viewing something else, and the focus won't change as long as the AF-L button is held in. I always thought its purpose was simply to lock the focus...not to be the primary source of focusing. :rolleyes: I never went into the menu and reassigned the AF-L/AF-E button for this. When the AF-L button is released, the shutter now works as the primary source of AF. That's why I started that other thread asking about it because I didn't know the shutter release could be reassigned and lose its AF capability until I saw the video. [/QUOTE]
