I’m primarily a Canon shooter myself and I recently wrote a tutorial about Firstly, if you’re not familiar with the general benefits of back button focus then I would urge you to read my popular article: With regular back button focus the AF-On button activates the currently selected autofocus mode with the currently selected set of AF points. Be careful not to make things too complicated for yourself though!How do you set up your AF buttons? We've selected our favorite lenses for Sony mirrorlses cameras in several categories to make your decisions easier.If you're looking for a high-quality camera, you don't need to spend a ton of cash, nor do you need to buy the latest and greatest new product on the market. Once you then return to the (a) Autofocus menu, you will now see that a8 AF Activation is set to OFF.
Let’s make a few menu changes so that we can set up back button focus on your Nikon D810. BTW the behavior was identical for both my D850 & D500.
In this tutorial I will show you how to use two different buttons to activate two totally different sets of autofocus points.
This means you can switch back and forth between single point AF and an AF grouping just by moving your thumb to a different button.An example of when this might be useful would be photographing an owl that is perched on a post.

Bank C is also identical except the sensor shoots 1:1 format in lossless RAW. I wonder if the D850 has this new focus mode?| Yes - I can see that - though are you really changing focus point I NEVER use AF-S. This loss together with inferior AFC continues to cripple these otherwise excellent cameras to shoot action. As you have the camera, give it a try and see what happens!Under Part 2 – Second Button: i also want to assign my other AF option to the sub-selector button. Für diese Problem gibt es eine einfache Lösung, die fast jede Kamera bietet: Der sog.
Thanks again for helping me understand this very unintuitive menu. While it has a higher resolution sensor and new processor, its biggest focus is on selfies.The Sony a7S III is a 12MP full-frame camera primarily designed with video in mind.
And I actually have selected the NEW Horizontal Group Auto Focus Mode that was only recently introduced to the D5 in a Firmware Update. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.” – Ansel Adams99% of the time for serious work, and I also have one bank for shutter button focus for when I shoot family pics.Using BBF is the most direct cause, that I do not again buy consumer design cameras - which unfortunately includes the D750.Not having a dedicated AF-ON far from the viewfinder makes it quite a pain for a left eyed, big nosed shooter to use BBF (as my D90/D7000) - so my upgrades, whenever they will be, will be the pro-layout (D5x0,D8x0).I've been experimenting with a bit lately - but I find it hard to change over - because I figure I've taken about 7 million photos since 2002 - and all those have been shutter button half press focus.Last week I was playing with trying this new method - but when I realized that I would also have to reach with one of my other fingers to the Fn button and keep that held down when I wanted to temporarily switch Auto Focus Area Modes, and then when I noticed that I had to take my finger off the AF/On button to change my focus point - well that made it just too hard.I may try playing with it again - but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.All the time - except when I'm using manual focus or handing the camera to someone else.Using BBF is the most direct cause, that I do not again buy consumer design cameras - which unfortunately includes the D750.Not having a dedicated AF-ON far from the viewfinder makes it quite a pain for a left eyed, big nosed shooter to use BBF (as my D90/D7000) - so my upgrades, whenever they will be, will be the pro-layout (D5x0,D8x0).Surely the back button of the D750 is just as useable as the AF-ON button on any of the pro bodies ?I'm a left-eye shooter myself and have no problems with a D750 or D7xxx body.I've been experimenting with a bit lately - but I find it hard to change over - because I figure I've taken about 7 million photos since 2002 - and all those have been shutter button half press focus.Last week I was playing with trying this new method - but when I realized that I would also have to reach with one of my other fingers to the Fn button and keep that held down when I wanted to temporarily switch Auto Focus Area Modes,That I don't get. 1
