[QUOTE="Englischdude, post: 395843, member: 16372"] Hi all, I have decided to commit to trying the BBF feature of the D7100 for a couple of weeks to see how it works out. I have a kids birthday tomorrow and my 3 yr old daughter will be going into the skischool next week, good opportunities to practice. I am a bit confused about the settings. So far I have done as follows: Enabled AE-L/AF-L butto to AF On (effectively relocating focusing from the shutter release button to the AE/AF L button. Works no problem. Under the custom menu Autofocus settings I have set: a1 to AF-C release priority a2 to AF-S focus priority According o the myriad of tutorials I have found on the web this should be it, but what should I be setting the focus mode to (using the little button left of the lens and selector wheel)? AFS AFC AFA? in AFC I have tried setting to d9 d21 and d51, however the focus point has to be always individually selected with the arrow buttons. I see no difference whatsoever when changing these settings. is that correct? For example, if I set to AFC D9, in the viewfinder the focal point is a single point which I have to manually move to any one of the available 51 points! Im confused! If anyone else has their D7100 set up for BBF I would appreciate knowing you settings. thanks in advance for your help! [/QUOTE]
