Thank you very much for all responses. Now, I understand that AF button has a useful function for serious users / pros.
But >>> as a very casual photographer (ie. shooting 400 - 500 pictures per year on vacations only), with DSLR and compact cameras, using the "basic" procedure of halfpress shutter to AF + AElock is OK, am I correct ?

I am quite new to DSLR. I used film SLR (amateur models, not pro models) before, from manual focus to auto-focus era.
On SLR with auto-focus, mostly the focus locks (also simultaneously AE locks) with shutter half-press. Some SLR had AE-lock button, which is understandable.
But what is that "AF button" for? I cannot figure out why one would need or want to press (and hold) that AF button, recompose, then press the shutter release.
Please explain > when to use AF button? What situation that AF by halfpress shutter does not work?
