I just ran into a mention of back-button AF again, and now I'm wondering: How many of you actually use back-button AF?
I understand the benefits of doing this: by decoupling the AF from the shutter button, one can pre-focus more easily for faster shooting. It also allows the user to just leave the camera on AF.C and let go of the AF button to lock once the camera has acquired focus, while being able to track a moving subject simply by holding down the AF button—this eliminates the need to change AF modes for most situations.
However, it does take some time to get used to, and for some, it simply doesn't feel right. What do you think?
For those who don't know what back-button AF is, answer "no" if your camera focuses when you press the shutter button halfway.
I'm trying it out on my K-3 II and will report back in a few days.
(Sorry for the repost; thought I made a mistake setting up the poll.)
