Better Fuji Photos Episode 37: Staying in Manual Focus All the Time
Are you currently using the "traditional" back-button focus (BBF) technique where you're in autofocus modes but using the back AF button?
Or have you tried BBF but didn't like how you had to permanently disable autofocus with the shutter button?
This alternative may be a better solution for you. Staying in Manual Focus mode all the time but using the back AF button to get quick autofocus when you need it can give you the best of having all of the amazing manual focus tools but also instant autofocus when you need it.
Flip the focus mode switch to S or C if you need to track something or go back to the "shutter button autofocus" mode without changing any other settings buried deep in the submenus.
A few notes:
- Set the behavior of the back AF button while in MF mode in the AF/MF Setting menu > Instant AF Setting
- If you were using the "traditional" BBF setup but want to try this, remember to re-enable the shutter autofocus function in the Button/Dial Setting menu > Shutter AF
