Title: Focus Priority or Trap Focus - 30D Post by: markkraz on September 17, 2008, 05:23:49 PM I shoot with a 30D and a variety of lenses and I just recently heard of "Trap Focus" and "Focus Priority" which sounds really great for, say, a track race. If I'm on the sidelines, I can set lane 4 in focus over a specific hurdle and not shoot until the runner is in focus right where I want him (within reason since I know the f stop will allow for a range of focus).
I've heard explicitly that Nikons have this and I'd like to believe that Canons do as well. Anyone know how to make it work on a 30D? Thanks!

"Focus Priority" just means that the camera won't take a picture if it can't focus on something in autofocus mode. "Release Priority" means that the camera takes a picture when the shutter is released, even if it can't get focus on anything.

So "Focus Priority" won't work in manual focus mode? It sounds like it would act in a very similar way to "trap focus" if it does. |
