Re: Full pressing of the shutter button for AF

Does this technique (one could say it's an obvious thing to "just fully press the damned button"), requires setting focus priority for AF-S? Or are we talking about situations where camera is able to quickly acquire focus and it acquires it faster than a press of a button?

I guess technically you ought to be using focus priority (I do), but I've tried to get my cameras to shoot without acquiring focus first in AF-S and failed to do so. It seems to work fine either way. YMMV,
