Originally posted by 87Duckfan When shooting in AFC, do you still use back button focus, for fast moving objects like birds?

TIA!
I think it is also important which DSLR you use!
I use BBF on all of my Pentax bodies since the K5 and always with AF-C.
But when I press the AF-AE-L button on my KP the "Continuous" of the AF-C is on hold as soon as I let go and then my
thumb indexfinter activates the shutterbutton: During that short moment a moving bird (or any other particular fast moving object) can be out of focus already.
I use the DA55-300PLM for birds, it reacts much quicker than the older tele-lenses i had but isn't that fast.
So BBF + AF-C is not always the best solution, a stick has (always) two ends.
So yes: Whatever is best for you.
