I have been gifted an M200. I don't have it yet, but I was curious.

Does it have an AF-ON button, or a way to assign another button to autofocus?

Thank you for your help.

In the menu system of the M100, C Fn II: Others, sub-menu 4 you get to choose the combination of front button / * button between AF / AE lock, AE lock / AF, AF lock / AF without AE lock, and AE / AF without AE lock. If all else fails, RTFM.

Manual focussing mode is under the SHOOT3 menu.

My favourite method is high sensitivity touchscreen release, single- shot AF with the small box, Evaluative metering and holding the camera in my left hand to choose the focus spot and bias point for the metering with my right forefinger.

Sittatunga,

How do you handle Servo?

With the M200, can you assign focus to another button besides the shutter button?

I'm used to locking the exposure with the shutter button, and autofocusing with the AF-ON button.

If I remember right, with my T6 (which doesn't have an AF-ON button), I assigned the focusing to the * button.

That's interesting about the bis point for the metering - so it's like partial metering with some point not in the center of the screen?
