Quick shift is for AFS only. Let the camera decide where it wants to focus, then, without removing the pressure from the shutter button (or AF button), rotate the focus ring to the required position then completely depress the shutter button to make the exposure.

This feature is only available on compatible lenses - don't force anything, the focus ring should move with very little resistance.

This is where back button focus works very well. Instead of initiating focus with a shutter button half-press, you press the af button. You can enable or disable focus independent of the shutter button. If you need to manually focus the shutter button won't fight you.

There is also the possibiity to set AF-button to disable AF, for using quick-shift in AF-C mode.
