[QUOTE="nickt, post: 263580, member: 4923"] You cannot get the full benefit from it on a d3100. you can program the af/ae lock button to initiate focus, but you cannot set the camera to release priority. So you lose the benefit of have two servo modes instantly available. The full experience is to have your camera in continuous servo mode, af-c. You focus with the back button. Hold it down and you have af-c. release the button and you can recompose, in effect, you have af-s mode. But you cannot set the d3100 to release the shutter if it does not have focus. So you might get some benefit, but you wont get the full deal on the d3100.
