Originally posted by quarc Well, since you ask, I would recommend moving AF to the AF button. A warning though, if you try it, you are not likely to switch back, you will probably lke the additional control. Only irritations are there is no AF button on the battery grip, and I have never managed to get catch in focus to work without moving the AF back to the shutter button.
...and inactivating AF on the half shutter. You should have warned me, i find i can't go back to the old way.
This really does help. If you are in a difficult light situation, the AF button allows you to focus one time, providing you don't move away from that spot, and take multiple photos from that spot. Eliminates a lot of frustration with any low light focusing problems.
I do occasionally move it back when things are happening quickly, such as a moving subject, but then later always go back to the AF button.
