[QUOTE="nickt, post: 317368, member: 4923"] If you use that button at its default setting, you can focus on something with a half press of the shutter, hold that back button, recompose, and shoot while still holding the back button. Aside from that, there is a popular technique called Back Button Focus Tecnique (BBF technique for short). I thought that is what you were referring to. That BBF technique is done by setting the ae/af button to AF ON in the menu. Then you focus with the ae/af back button, rather than the shutter button. You hold the back button down and you get continuous focus. Release the button and the focusing stops and you can recompose without holding any buttons. It wont work that way on your camera. You need to be in af-c (which you do have) AND you need to set up release priority (which you DO NOT have). So if you focus with the reconfigured back button on your camera, you will not be able to fire the shutter if you recompose if the focus point is not seeing focus. [/QUOTE]
