Re: X-T100 focus

What I hoped for was the focus to stay locked for the next shot(s) too as long as the shutter button was kept pressed halfway.
Not an easy task on a lot of cameras which have a very short and soft half press - that`s an old DSLR trick . I hate back button focus unless it has a Toggle Hold mode like the D850
X-T100 has a soft button (that's why it's easy to full press it while trying to scroll the dials as I told in my first post) but I really had no problems to accomplish it. So it's a real pity to me that the camera doesn't manage focus this way.
I don't know what Toggle Hold mode is but what I like about BBF on my D300s is that with just a single camera setting I have AF-S (press AF-On once), AF-C (keep it pressed), focus lock (engage focus once and keep shooting) and MF (use the focus ring on the lens) . I don't have to navigate menus or move any selector to change focus mode and I immediately felt comfortable with this technique. I guess we all have different hands and different minds, so to each their own.
