How to use Nikon’s AF-ON and back button autofocus | Nikon Rumors
I’m a great fan of disabling focusing with the shutter button and using the dedicated AF-ON button instead:
-You have more control over the camera. The camera does not have to re-focus every time you lift your finger from the shutter release.
-You can instantly switch between AF-single and AF-continues by deciding how long you are pressing the AF-ON button.
-You get great control over stationary objects and landscapes as the camera does not try to autofocus once you recompose.
