[QUOTE="nickt, post: 405631, member: 4923"] I don't have a d5100 to play with, but it sounds like you are in a mode that will not allow af-c. To be sure, use A, S, or P mode for now. Auto mode or a scene mode could be a problem. On my d7100, Auto mode always takes me back to af-a, I can change it to af-c, but it will go right back to af-a if I change modes and go back. I'm not sure how live view behaves on your camera. My BBF setup seems to work when I switch to live view, but I don't think it stays in af-c mode. I'm not well versed in live view though. I only use it for some manual focus macro shots. So try A,S or P mode in viewfinder mode and see how that works. [/QUOTE]
