[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 340857, member: 9240"] Once again, I'm either not making myself clear, or you're not hearing what I'm typing. I've [I]readeth the manual!! [/I];) I am in AF-S mode, with the single point focus selected (I [I]never[/I]use AUTO for anything but ISO). I am not asking it to [B]track[/B], I am asking it to [B]release and re-engage[/B]. It's on the re-engage that it seems to be struggling. I did some testing on the deck today (nothing worth seeing tonight, and these old bones can use a night off) and here's what I'm finding. As before, first frame locks just fine and fires perfectly. Second frame seems to lock, or at least stop searching for a lock, but does not fire. This happens not all the time, but some times, and usually when the second subject is not high contrast (when it is, this doesn't seem to be an issue). It pauses, and fires about 1-2 seconds later if I hold the shutter button down. It may be a technique issue, as I [I]may[/I] be pressing the shutter button before lock is achieved, so the camera is struggling to figure out whether or not to fire or focus. It's a technique I've not really had to use before, and I may be better off in another mode. I'm going to keep this in mind when I head back out tomorrow, if only to concentrate on when I'm pressing what. [/QUOTE]
