[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 268363, member: 15675"] I had a panic last week on this. Switching to back button focussing recently, leaving the focus mode on AF-C and avoiding refocus when I do not want it, I got stuck. I would focus, reframe and the shutter would refuse to fire. I had to go and switch AF off to take a picture. After some research it showed that AF-C was on Focus Priority and AF-S on Release Priority. That actually makes sense: AF-S you choose your focus point, reframe and should be able to shoot. AF-C you let the camera follow the target and when it is in focus it shoots. I now have both in release priority, I prefer the out of focus picture then not having a picture. If you want to be sure to have AF finished when the picture is taken, put focus priority. [/QUOTE]
