Polamalu Posted May 13 Share #1 Posted May 13 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings to everyone in this, my first post. I don't have the SL3 yet, but I'm thinking about buying it. I'm reading the user manual and can't see a way to separate the focus from the shutter button. I guess I'd like to confirm that it's possible to do so on this camera.

You need to switch to manual focusing mode, then you can press the joystick to initiate focusing (BBF). It does not work with lenses with an MF clutch (a few Panasonic lenses).

Ning Ning Posted May 14 Share #5 Posted May 14 I don't know if I understand you correctly, but since the firmware update before last (?) you can set the focus to the joystick. The camera then focuses for as long as you press the joystick (AF/c). If you release it, the autofocus is fixed. Exposure metering and shutter release as usual via the shutter release button. Was that what you were looking for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted May 14 Share #6 Posted May 14 You can also set the camera to MF and then have the top front function button be AF/ON, This is what I do most of the time. I don't want the camera to attempt to use AF-s when I am working in the field either shooting a pano Manual focus bracket. I am not using the latest firmware, but I assume that you can also configure the joystick to be AF/ON also, when in MF. This should work with any L mount lens. Panasonic included, but I need to check as I only have a 70-300 Panasonic. I do not want the shutter button to also be used for AF unless I am shooting something very specific. If you are working a pano, and have the shutter set to also be used for AF, its very common during the movement across the subject that the AF indicator will hit something (sky or dark area) where the AF will not get a hit and thus go out of focus. To reset it means moving the camera away from the horizon and thus makes it hard to line up a 3 or 4 part pano later on. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La cámara se enfoca mientras presionas el joystick (AF/c). Si lo sueltas, el enfoque automático está fijo. La medición de la exposición y el obturador como de costumbre a través del botón de obturador. ¿Era eso lo que estabas buscando? Yes, that's what I was asking, thank you very much.

Polamalu Posted May 14 Author Share #8 Posted May 14 Hace 1 hora, Paul2660 dijo: También puedes configurar la cámara en MF y luego hacer que el botón de función frontal superior esté AF/ON, esto es lo que hago la mayor parte del tiempo. No quiero que la cámara intente usar AF-s cuando estoy trabajando en el campo, ni disparando un soporte de enfoque manual panorámico. No estoy usando el último firmware, pero supongo que también puedes configurar el joystick para que sea AF/ON también, cuando esté en MF. Esto debería funcionar con cualquier lente de montura L. Panasonic incluida, pero necesito comprobarlo, ya que solo tengo un 70-300 Panasonic. No quiero que el botón del obturador también se use para AF a menos que esté filmando algo muy específico. Si está trabajando en un panorama y tiene el obturador configurado para que también se use para AF, es muy común durante el movimiento a través del sujeto que el indicador AF golpee algo (cielo o área oscura) donde el AF no reciba un golpe y, por lo tanto, se desenfoque. Reiniciarlo significa alejar la cámara del horizonte y, por lo tanto, hace que sea difícil alinear un panorama de 3 o 4 partes más adelante. Paul If it works with the 70-300 I also have, it'll probably work with all the others I have too. Thank you very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
