[QUOTE="hark, post: 658604, member: 13196"] I'm having trouble understanding what Paul wants, too. As Nick explained, if you want to switch between AF-C and AF-S, all it requires is to focus with the back button, remove your thumb from the back button, and recompose if desired. Then just press the shutter button to take the photo. That replicates AF-S. Another alternative is to set up U1 or U2 with whatever change you want. My U1 is set up for BBF in Aperture Priority, AF-C. U2 is set up for BBF in Manual Mode, AF-C. My regular Aperture Priority is set for AF-S, and so are Manual Mode and Shutter Priority. All I need to do is to switch between U1, U2, or A (since I mostly shoot in Aperture Priority without BBF). I can quickly switch between BBF and no BBF. All of my options are set for single point focus, but you can program U1 or U2 to use multiple focus points if desired. [/QUOTE]
