You take the autofocus activation off of the shutter and assign to the AF/AE lock button. Then leave camera in AF-C mode. Holding the button then tracks, but you can release the button to freeze the focus in position and then pushing the shutter will not cause a refocus. No need to select between the modes once you retrain yourself to use it.That said, I have dabbled in trying it and it really does not seem to benefit me so much. To do this there are 2 changes to make in the setup menu and hundreds of articles and videos that show how.</blockquote>
