[QUOTE="nickt, post: 695894, member: 4923"] Not if you are using the "bbf technique" correctly. To use this as most people do, you need to be in AF-C with menu A1 set to release. Not af-s. To use this properly, you hold down the back button if you want continuous focus. You are in af-c and it is activated by the back button. Hold it as long as you want and shoot when you want. Focus will track as you hold the button. If you have an immediate need for af-s, you simply release the back button. It is not really af-s, but that is the effect you get. You press the back button, and release it when you are happy with focus. Recompose if you wish. This is why people use the bbf technique, you get both focus modes. You get regular af-c and a simulated af-s mode. For this to work though you must be in af-c with release priority. [/QUOTE]
