The idea of using AF-LOCK seems more appealing than AF-ON. But only if it takes a single button push to lock the AF. I don\'t want to have to hold the button down. However, it wasn\'t completely obvious to me which way it works. Can someone explain / confirm?
Thanks.
You have to hold the AF-lock button down to make it work. Same goes for the AF-On.
Well, it is slightly different. Your method is saying: let the camera focus all the time and I\'ll tell it when to stop focusing by AF-lock. The AFON method is saying: I will tell the camera when to start and stop focus.
The first method is kind of like automatic transmission, where on flat ground, the car will go until you press the brake pedal. The second method is manual transmission, as the car will not move until you put it in gear and press the gas pedal.
