I understand this setting simply as a means to disable AF on half press. Thus, repeated 1/2 presses of the shutter release do NOT cause the AF to activate, so long as you have the AF button pressed.
Too hard for my simple mind in the opportunistic type of shooting I enjoy so I do not use that option. The focus switch is your tool to do what you describe :)) Rod -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boris Liberman Subject: K10D, AF button question Hi! I went to the settings menu and set up the AF button in such a way that when pressed it disables the AF (value: 2). So I point my camera at something and press the button. The "MF" lights up in the viewfinder. However I still cannot rotate the lens manually, so that I suppose that the AF screwdriver is not retracted. Can anyone please explain me what then this setting means? Thanks in advance. -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
