Just done a daft one, had a 35mm lens off Santa. Just trying it out and thought the auto focus wasn't working. After 5 minutes I realised that my camera was set for bbf. Dohhhhh

My cameras are always set for BBF BUT my wife will not use it so here camera is not set for it. When I pick up her camera to do something I am pushing the BBF button and wondering why it won't focus.
Check menu a4. Looks like it needs to be set to 'af-on only'. I don't have the d7200, but it looks like is done a little differently from the d7100.I've just set my D7200 to bbf and I've noticed that I can still focus by half pressing the shutter button as well as the bbf, I've checked my settings and they seem correct so any ideas folks?

I just did the Fn button to turn on the horizon. I think that will help me too.I just read this and thought I'd give it a try - both bodies - and wow...why I never did this before is beyond me. I also assigned the FN button to turn on virtual horizon since I tend to have a little tilt in my photos (my heads lopsided I think)....what a difference!

I read this post and set it up on my D7100. Hit the button once and it stays on as long as the camera is on. Very handy.
BBF function will be on till you change it in the menu. But are you talking about the focus staying the same? If so yes the focus will not change until you hit the BBF button again. A really handy feature if you are shooting something that is stationary. I remember seeing a wading bird once and waiting till it took of to fly away. I set my focus on the bird and lowered my camera and waited, and waited and waited till 15 minutes he started to move and I was able to pick up my camera and start shooting of course I put my thumb on the BBF so it would be in continuous mode for the focus. Being able to start in focus gave me the extra time needed to get the takeoff and the flight.
