Normally, focus is set by half-pressing the shutter button. With Back-Button Focus, you control it using a separate button on the back of your camera.
- The focus stays locked on the subject, even if you release the shutter.
- Ideal for fast-moving subjects like birds in flight.
- Prevents the camera from refocusing every time you press the shutter.
Tip: Enable this feature in your camera settings and practice with moving subjects. A key advantage: You can assign two different focus areas to separate buttons—such as a wide field and a spot focus—allowing quick adjustments without navigating through menus.
