[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 405524, member: 9503"] Having a little issue setting up back button focus on my 5100. I am following the instructions/video here: - [url=http://www.anderson9.com/photography/bbf/bbf-nikon-d5100.html]Nikon D5100 - Back Button Focus[/url] - [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzqQskGoURE[/URL] I have: - The A1 control on AF-C Priority/Release - The F2 control on AF-ON, and - AE Area-mode on Single Point AF What's happening is:[INDENT]1) the i-button display is still showing [B]AF-A ;[/B] its supposed to show [B]AF-C [/B]per the video at 8:45 . If I try to manually highlight and change AF-A it via the i-button menu, it only offers me AF-A or Manual.[/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT]2) The camera is behaving like its in back button mode ( ie it does indeed focus with the back button on not a half press of the shutter)....however in [B]liveview[/B], it is in the default (non back-button) mode, focusing with the half press. [/INDENT] [B] Did I miss a key step somewhere?? [/B] [/QUOTE]
