Focus Lock Question

[shark]

Hi Guys,

What is the between pressing the shuttle-release button halfway and recompose from pressing the shuttle-release button halfway and press AF-L and recompose? And how about camera with AF area mode? I can also choose Single-area and select the focus area accordingly. Confuse.

no difference if you are using AF-Single... but if you are using continuous or automatic the first method might make the camera refocus again.

AF-L/AE-L button may need some customisation from you. I may lock both Exposure and Focus.....if it is your intention.

some dSLR have a single button to lock both exposure and focus... so what he meant is that you might have to set it so that it only lock focus but not exposure...
