At our last photo club meeting, I brought up something that completely changed the way I shoot:
Back Button Focus.
If you're still using the shutter button to focus, you're constantly choosing between single shot and continuous — or digging through menus when something changes.
Back button focus fixes that.
When I was out on the trail photographing flowers in the wind, I could simply hold the back button to track movement… then release it and recompose when things were still. No menu diving. No missed shots.
Once you switch, it just makes sense.
If you want to see exactly how I set it up (and real examples in the field), watch here:
Around the 5-minute mark, I walk step-by-step through the setup.
Try it for a week — you may never go back.
