Back button focus is a technique of assigning the auto-focus of your camera to a button on the back of the camera.

Back button focus is great for birds in flight. I have used it for years and it's allowed me to get some fantastic shots. It's a must-try for bird photography.

What is back button focus also good for? It removes the need to change focus modes. You can photograph stationary subjects and if they start to move, you are ready to go with continuous focusing. It is Single Servo Auto Focus and Continuous Servo Auto Focus all rolled into one?!
