i'm pretty sure i found the function of the [AF-ON] setting. if i'm reading the manual right, it's to be able to auto focus while in manual focus mode by pushing the /AE-AF/ button.

AF-ON also allows me to force the camera to autofocus without locking the exposure at the same time.

Not sure I get the logic of this approach.  I prefer 1st locking exposure with AE lock, then select focus point with half press, then recompose and take the shot.  I guess with AF-ON you focus first, then AE Lock, and then take the shot?
