Re: Shutter button (*workaround found)

I have an M3 and had same issues with Backbutton focus. After focusing, it would continue to try to focus. Then I discovered the solution. Click the back button focus and continue to hold it on subject after it focuses. Then click the button a second time and focus will remain on the subject. Now move the camera around as you please and focus will remain where you want it.

Is this part of an upgrade to the firmware?
