[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 329425, member: 12948"] I mainly shoot RAW because it gives me more control on the editing side. Sometimes I do set it to jpeg when the shots dont really count to see if I can get the image right, but 98 percent of the time I shoot RAW. The back button focus is decoupling the focus/shutter button from the normal shutter button to using 2 buttons. The AE-L/AF-L button on the back to be the button to focus and then the shutter button is only used to take the picture. So its really a two finger or two motion to take a picture. You might try and google/yahoo "back button focus" and look at some videos and then see if your camera can go it. It really helped me get the shots I want. I know some like it and some dont. There are times at tournaments or games that I do shoot RAW+jpeg and when I review the shots I look at the jpeg first, if they right and I dont have to edit then I use those. If the image needs more tweaking then I use the RAW. RAW just gives you more room for editing. Here you go, a quick search of "back button focus d300", yielding this discussion/blog post [url=http://prakashphotography.blogspot.com/2008/12/nikon-d700d3d300-autofocus-settings.html]photography musings: Nikon D700/D3/D300 Autofocus settings[/url] [/QUOTE]
