    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    Thanks again for the great feedback, gents! OK, I turned off face detection. Will see how that affects AF performance. Looking through "Menu A - AF/MF," I noticed the default for "C-AF Lock" is "OFF." Other selections are "high," "normal," and "low." The description says this pertains to the...

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    Oh, one other thing I just thought of... I have face detection turned on. Do you folks think that could be the culprit? I would think when there's no face to detect, it wouldn't be trying to detect and therefore slowing down AF performance, but maybe I'm wrong on that. Comments? Anything else I...

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    Yep, you summed its advantages up perfectly, way better than I would have. I agree that S-AF pretty much negates much of the advantages of back-button focusing to begin with. I need to get out and use my new Oly a little more and maybe I'll develop better BBF technique. I'm used to how my...

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    I'm seeing the same issue, NP1, with all types of shots at all distances. I'm in C-AF. I like pretty much everything else about the camera and lens, but the AF performance is disappointing so far.

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    BTW, Ken and Clint... I took the advice you gave me, and the BB focusing operation is behaving as I wanted, although it doesn't nail focus in dynamic situations as fast or as accurately as my Nikon DSLRs. However, it's not bad, and I can probably compensate for that limitation with technique...

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    Cool! Thank you so much, Ken! All the reading I did led me to believe it would only function as S-AF. I was getting worried that I'd have to "unlearn" long-established habits. I very much appreciate your assistance, sir!!!

    E-M1 "AF-C" Back-button Focusing

    Hello everyone, new member here. I just purchased an Oly OM-D E-M1 & the 12-40 f/2.8 Pro lens this week. I haven't even unboxed everything yet. I'm an intermediate level enthusiast photographer with several years of shooting with Nikon FF and APS-C gear. I love my Nikon gear and plan to...
