[QUOTE="Needa, post: 525200, member: 37799"] For focus issues in low light you could try using a flashlight to illuminate the point of focus while focusing then later turn it off. Should work well with BBF. Another interesting bit of information I found today (page 206 d7100 manual) the AF-assist illuminator: "The AF-assist illuminator lights when lighting is poor (viewfinder photography only). AF-assist illumination is only available when both of the following conditions are met: 1. AF-S is selected for autofocus mode (0 71) or single-servo autofocus is selected when the camera is in AF-A mode. 2. Auto-area AF is chosen for AF-area mode (0 73), or single-point or dynamic- area AF is chosen and the center focus point is selected." So it looks like the assist lamp won't work with BBF set to AF-C. [/QUOTE]
