Watched a youtube video of someone claiming advantages to using the
back button for auto focus.
Hoping someone can confirm that I'm understanding it correctly.
I have my focus mode set to AF-C.
I have the AE-L/AF-L back button set to ON.
I choose my subject ... hit the back button, and once the camera
has focus, I can release the back button and it is set at that distance
until I change it. Is this correct ?
... and to continuously focus on a moving subject, just hold down the
back button and follow subject. Is this correct ?
Also ... reading Byran Peterson's Understanding Exposure.
He often talks about metering or getting exposure setting from some point other
than the actual focused point and locking exposure.
I'm pretty confused by that.
Anyone know the steps to accomplish that on a Nikon ?
