[QUOTE="jthomas39, post: 844447, member: 68810"] [B]I have two AF-On buttons! [/B] Z6 iii. The AF-On button works as usual. I customized the DISP button: in f2: Custom controls (shooting), DISP button= AF-area mode+AF-ON, then right arrow -->select 3D tracking. and Sub-selector center (the joystick press)=DISP I can use the AF-On button, find a subject, then let go of the AF-On, and press DISP within about 1 second to hand off the selected subject to 3D tracking. This is easy and effective: the DISP button is easy to find by feel. Or just press DISP as an alternative AF-On, with 3D selected. I use this for static scenes that I want to "focus and recompose", since it tracks the target, even if I move the camera or the target moves. The joystick press now cycles through the display choices. (too bad that it only works in Shooting, not in Playback. But now I remember to press the original DISP in Playback image review.) ~~~ With AF-On=only, a half press shutter [B]temporarily locks the exposure [/B]while it's held down. That's useful for strong backlit scenes -- aim downward to exclude the bright sky, half press shutter, recompose, shoot a frame. (I think this half press usage is a default setting in the menu somewhere) [/QUOTE]
