Figure 4-6. Choosing a shutter release priority for AF-S
mode
1. Select a Autofocus from the Custom Setting Menu and
scroll to the right (see Figure 4-6, image 1).
2. Highlight AF-S priority selection and scroll to the right
(see Figure 4-6, image 2).
3. Choose one of the two settings from the menu, with full
understanding of what may occur if you don’t choose
Focus.
4. Press the OK button to select your shutter release
priority.
My Recommendation: Once again, I choose Focus. I love
pictures that are in focus, don’t you? When I don’t want
images in focus, I’ll just flip the switch to manual on the
camera or lens and focus where I want. Please read the next
section very well!
Using Custom settings a1 and a2
Release priority vs. Focus priority Two of the more
important functions in this Custom Settings chapter are a1
and a2. I added this special section so you’ll understand why
you must pay very close attention to these two settings.
Focus priority simply means that your camera will refuse to
take a picture until it can reasonably focus on something.
Release priority means that the camera will take a picture
when you decide to take it, whether anything is in focus or
not!
