Originally posted by biz-engineer I did again some experimentation with the K1 autofocus in low light. As monochrome mentioned, if I use the back button AF (when in difficult focus situation), the camera has no problem with shooting immediately when pressing the shutter. When you know you are in a low light situation, using the back button AF is indeed a good way around the focus lag.
Confirmed after testing, it does fire immediatly when I use those settings:
- AF.S
- focus priority
- shutter set not to focus when being half pressed
- AF back button set to focus
I can say it performs very well like that in low light situations.
Now please, If you can check this one, because I'm not completly sure of understanding how the body should behave in AF.C:
- AF.C in A-9 or SEL-2 or SEL-3
- focus priority on the first frame
- focus priority set during bursts
- shutter set not to focus when being half pressed
- AF back button set to focus
- AF hold off or low
The body allows to fire at every moment, even when I'm pressing back AF button and focus is not acuired. Is there something I don't get ?
