Since the 600D doesn't have an AF-ON button, you have to assign to the * or focus point select button. I would use the * button. Consult your manual for exact instructions.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227695530187567374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-70594739812357685052014-11-02T02:20:13.916-08:002014-11-02T02:20:13.916-08:00Hi.

Have looked into the manual but nothing there about these changings, only the common stuff about focuslocking.<br />/LottaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887435444544434989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-56020921511524269522014-10-31T05:11:56.475-07:002014-10-31T05:11:56.475-07:00Awesome Jeff, I've been using the back button ...Awesome Jeff, I've been using the back button few days and I can tell you that is a huge difference when you shot sports. <br />Great tipLeandro Bernardeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187771667187858315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-58769331752580800372014-10-30T01:06:41.153-07:002014-10-30T01:06:41.153-07:00Another reason to use back button focusing is ease...Another reason to use back button focusing is ease of composition. I set my camera to focus only on the center point for maximum control. I focus and meter on my subject (with back button and maybe ae lock), then recompose my subject using e.g. the rule of thirds, and shoot. <br />Without back button focusing, (1) I would lose focus while recomposing or (2) I would need to change focus point every time or (3) I would need to shoot only with the subject in the center.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619313982151522058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-45583541507841700502014-10-29T14:12:09.980-07:002014-10-29T14:12:09.980-07:00I'm shooting a lot of team handball, and I tri...I'm shooting a lot of team handball, and I tried backbuttonfocus, but I wasn't really happy with it. I think you can compare shooting handball with shooting basketball, if you don't know the sport.<br />Would you backbuttonfocus a basketball match or not? You can't prefocus good, because everyone is moving all the time...<br />Thanks a lot for your videos and your blog!Steffennoreply@blogger.com
