I've set the Custom Function on my 645DF so I use the back-button focus method.
(So AF is disabled off shutter release and I use the teeny-tiny AEL button on the back with my thumb to focus.
However, it seemed that randomly it would suddenly swop to normal shutter-button focus. Or so I thought.
Having had it happen lots on a shoot today, I investigated further. It seems that if I turn off the camera body while shooting, but leave the back switched on (only for a few minutes, maybe), then when I re-turn on the camera back on, it reverts to normal shutterbutton-AF. The opposite of what the Custom Function is set to.
I have to turn off the camera and back and re-start them again. Which is sort-of OK now I've sussed out what it's doing.
So just a warning to others if it happens to you.
And perhaps a request to see if affects other people's cameras the same way. Or does mine have a glitch? Or is there a firwware glitch?
I believe I have the latest Firmware in both the back (p40+) and body.
As for rear-button AF, for me it's the only way of working and I use all my cameras this way. So please Phase make the button bigger on the DF II (which I hear is going to be "a bit more industrial!")
Thanks
