[QUOTE="nickt, post: 579044, member: 4923"] Focus priority means you must lock focus before the shutter will fire. Release priority means you can click the shutter whether focus is ready or not. You can assign this for each af-s and af-c. Af-s, probably best to go with focus priority as you have it. Af-c, you can go either way. I would go release priority for af-c, but recognize you can get an out of focus shot. If you went af-c with focus priority for a bird in flight, the camera will demand focus. It can be frustrating to be pressing the shutter button and you get nothing because focus priority wont let the shutter fire. I think the the odds are better you get a decent shot spraying a burst with af-c release priority. You really can argue this either way. Auto area focus with af-c focus priority can get you a good bif shot too. So play with it. I use af-c with back button focus and that makes necessary release priority for the technique to work. BBF is a project to get used to, but you get the best of both af-s and af-c for instant use. Hold the button down and you get af-c with release priority. Release the button and you get a instant psuedo af-s release priority mode. That is, focus stops when you release the button. That is good for recomposing on a stationary subject. [/QUOTE]
