Yes. AFAIK there are several methods. The one I use is for a half-press to initiate AE, AF and IS, and if necessary, to stop AF by pressing an assignable thumb-button. This, so I can tweak focus manually or simply focus without AF. Some people have this assigned the other way around, so that the shutter half-press initiates AE and AF, but it takes a further press with the thumb to get IS going. In any case, to stop IS, releasing the shutter does this, but there's a short delay of around 1 second. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
