[QUOTE="nickt, post: 658607, member: 4923"] The U's are a good idea if Paul is looking for af-c or af-s with [B]focus priority[/B] but still wants to mostly use bbf. After we were talking about U settings last week, I updated one of my U's for shutter button focus, af-c with focus priority. I love bbf and what it does for me 99% of the time. The one area where it falls short for me is birds in flight. It is much like skeet shooting trying to catch a bird in flight with af-c and release priority. So I want to try something that won't fire unless focus is locked. The d7100 and d7200 override the af priority menus a1 and a2 once you set the back button to af-on. You are stuck with release priority when using bbf no matter what you set in a1 and a2. I think the d7000 respected the a1 and a2 priority menus with bbf set. No idea on how other Nikon's handle priority with the bb set for focus. I don't think the manuals explain this detail. [/QUOTE]
