This term came up in another post I have been reading.

Back Button Focusing??????????????????????? Well I have never heard of it lol. So off to google for some research. I think that putting myself as an intermediate photographer for this forum may have been a mistake. Just because I had taken a few photos does not make me a photographer. Maybe beginner might have been more appropriate.

I still find the whole concept of back button focusing confusing but can see it will be a big advantage when I can understand and master it. In fact the whole thing about understanding how my camera focuses will be an enlightenment to me.

I have now read pages and pages about focusing and back button focusing. Is there an easier way to engage it and understand it? I have a Canon 60D
