The action priority options are focus priority or maintaining capture frame rate priority. So I’m guessing that in AF.C I have the option of pressing the shutter release halfway or using the AF button. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] (I)t is important that awake people be awake... the darkness around us is deep. - William Stafford -- 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.
