I watched a webinar yesterday, sponsored by Paul’s Camera, where Paul van Allen of Nikon talked about the Z9 and autofocus. The program was not recorded.
Paul generally uses shutter button focus and has one or two other buttons on his Z9 configured to change his AF area.
At one point, when discussing using a programmed button to change AF areas, he said — if I understood him — that you have to let up on the shutter for an instant to switch to a new AF area, suggesting that the switch in AF areas will not happen if you are still shooting a burst. Not sure if he also meant you had to stop AF for an instant If you were merely focusing and not shooting.
Did I understand Paul correctly? I’m not sure if I have seen this. I’ll have to give it a test. Have others seen this effect? (Maybe it’s in the manual and I have not noticed. )
