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.

but how is that different that simply setting it to /af-lock/? doesn't that do the same thing as you describe? or does /af lock/ not work in manual focus mode and /af-on/ does?
