Back Button Focusing – Easier than you think!
What is back button focusing?
The shutter is usually used to focus. press the shutter button is half way down, and camera focuses and then you, the photographer, take the picture when the button is pressed in fully. When you set your camera up for Back button focus
then the the shutter button does not control the focus,
you have another button on the back of the camera (hence the name back focus) to activate focusing on the camera.
Canon was the first camera manufacturer to implement back button focus in 1989 and has put the feature in all DSLR models made in the last 10 years (even the Canon Rebel XT and XTi).
After we get everyone's camera setup we can also go outside and practice so bring your tripod too.
