Check that your camera AF setting is set to Focus Priority and not Release Priority

Check that you have enabled CIF in the menu.


I dont have your camera, but looking at a K5II manual online I cannot see how that is possible. The options are "Enable AF" .... both shutter half press and AF button will focus OR "Cancel AF"....... Pressing and holding the AF button will disable the shutter half press focus until the button is released.

I do not believe that is possible. I think you can enable both AF button/shutter half press to provide autofocus (default setting) , or program the AF button to cancel the AF action of shutter half press. You cannot disable both in the menu.

To disable both you need to turn the body switch from AF-S/AF-C to M, but then you cannot use CIF as the AF has to be "alive" on the camera body for it to work.


CIF works with a manual focus lens, or an AF lens that has a AF/MF switch on the lens body. It wont work with an AF lens that does not have the switch.

Thanks. That is my favourite too. While having a coffee with her owner on the patio Molly went under the table and stared up at me. I put down the coffee and grabbed the camera.

Molly is my ex-neighbours dog. She was a pup when I promised to do some portraits. She is 4 now but has lost none of her puppy cheekiness.

I like them both too.

...and second the recommendation for DS Colour Labs. I use no-one else

No 2 and the last one are my faves.
