Catch in focus- wow!
Another benefit is there is less chance of movement blur from pressing the shutter button Really does help with camera shake as you say. Probably because your also holding the barrel of the lens, which you should be doing anyway, so I cant see it would make any difference. If you think about it, i...

Actually I hold the lens and camera exactly the same way using CIF as when I manual focus - only difference is my finger is holding the shutter button down.

Agreed it's a great feature, but I don't think it is unique to Pentax. Nikon calls it Trap focus or Focus trapping I believe. Dunno about Canon. It might be obvious to some but I think it's worth noting that if you have AF set to the AF button then you'll need to press that as well, instead of ha...

As far as I know ALL Pentax DSLR models have CIF. Both my K110 and K200 do!

A quick Google reveals a link from this very site, where someone with a K100D has CIF: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/catch-in-focus-conundrum-23382

I use CIF extensively on my K20D to supplement my delaminating eyeballs. Once CIF is enabled, there are a few tricks: * On the K20D, the focus-select lever must be set to AF-S * On M-type or M42 lenses, put metal tape on the base to safely short-out the AF contacts * CIF can be used with AF len...

Here's what seems to be a complicated way of using "Almost Trap Focus" on some Canons :wink: http://eosdoc.com/manuals/?q=ATrapFocus :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Just discovered something strange on my K-5... I have the M50 1.7 on, and CIF works flawlessly when I am using 'M' mode... However with the same setting under 'User' (Set to M mode), my shutter just fires when I press the shutter regardless whether the scene is in focus or not o_0!? Can any...

You using shutter release for focus or the back button?

Just to confirm, I am using the 'M' mode under 'User', and the focus switch is on AF.S, with the exact same custom settings as my M mode. You may already know this, but the settings you save in User Mode can override whatever the physical AF-S switch is set to.

Ah! Resolved! In my User 'M', I have set 'Shutter Button Half Press' to 'OFF', of which 'Shutter Button Half Press will not trigger AF action'!

I use it all the time when shooting bugs (as long as they are still). Because I use the tubes and the 50mm I have to get very close to the subject so this has to be done with a great deal of stealth. So by holding down the shutter release and very, very slowly creeping up on the bugs I can focus on ...
