Option 2 lets you (auto) focus to a certain distance, recompose the frame, and fire off the shutter, without the recomposed shot being in focus (i.e. the camera is in temporary MF mode). It doesn't disengage the cam though. Not that useful for me, but there you go. I use Option 3 (centre AF spot), and I've whinged enough about that.
