I would think that SR is activated almost as soon as the shutter is tripped (or rather just before that). I do not recall any SR delay in any of my cameras.

I shoot a lot of events... and many times, I use manual lens (prime), I still use the AF button so I can see the focus confirmation while I keep my index finger on the shutter. I have been quite happy with the results.

Actually, the real question is: why would you turn this one off? The default is ON, so one can see the focus confirmation red light and where it is. Is there any occasion when you don't want to see it?

Just kidding.. :) but definitely as the OP suggested using the AF button helps a lot.

One more thing... if you anticipate there will be subject movement, then change the shooting mode to "continuous high" you will get a high percentage of usable shots.

If you have been using half-press of the shutter to lock focus, then you probably missed the mark more often than not.

Pentax k-5 provides the best ergonomics to shoot with thumb on the AF lock button and index finger on the shutter. It does not equate to constant AF due to subject movement (as in so-called servo mode); also only lock the focus on the active AF point. It is pretty close enough but not quite for perfect focus (similar to catch-in-focus feature I use on manual lenses)..
