[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 762631, member: 26505"] In order to recompose an image while in Continuous Servo, you have to change the camera setting to AF-On Only. This disables the half-press of the shutter button. Now you can use the AF-ON button to recompose by just lifting your thumb off of the button and still have continuous focus by leaving the button depressed. It is odd they would have AF-On/Shutter as default, but I guess they figure not everybody wants a dedicated AF-ON function. (I am sure you figured that out, but somebody reading this might not realize this is what you do in Continuous AF.) [B]You can save your thumb by assigning another button to AF-ON.[/B] The Preview button is easy to reach with your middle finger. I was playing with it, and I find it more comfortable than using my thumb. You still must put the camera in AF-Only to disable the shutter. Now focus with the preview button and release to recompose while in Continuous AF. [/QUOTE]
