If you're a left-hemisphere person, you can instead configure the AF-On button to "Stop Focus" instead.

??? There must be more to it than that. I tried it and the shutter release still controls it. AF stops when I take my finger off the shutter release. So it must also require a special setting for the shutter release?

AF is still on the shutter. You have to HOLD DOWN the AF-ON button to lock focus.

Thanks. Too many things to hold down, methinks. I have it set to toggle between OneShot and Servo, and that works pretty well. I'm always open to better ways, though, since focusing can never be too quick and easy.

Some people do like the "Stop Focus" method.  I prefer it the other way around though.

Swapping between One Shot and Servo would work too, but I like the flexibility of using the AF-ON button to start focus (now that I'm used to it).
