I never want the focus to change when I press the shutter release half
way.
What I do on the K10D, K20D, K3 & K1 is use the back AF button
exclusively for focus with the shutter release only tripping the shutter.
That may just be how the back AF button & AF.C work together, but I
couldn't find t
I generally browse through the manual at least once when I get a new
camera; mostly to see if there is anything new I need to be aware of -
maybe the newest model changed HOW you set up back button focus ...
If I encounter a specific problem later I consult it again to see if I
can find an answer

That is how the *ist-Ds worked as it didn't have a dedicated green
button. Also I think that Bruce meant M not Tv. At least on the K20D
and K-5II pressing the green button with a SMC Pentax [K] or M lens does
nothing in Tv mode, but in M mode it stops the lens down and sets the

Geesh I've been suffering through this problem forever. I guess I

Eric, I think John nailed the problem. You have your options set such that the
camera will not fire if [something] is not in focus.
I don’t remember the K-5 setup, but on the K-3 and other cameras since then
there is a choice for AF1 or AF2 under Button Customization. AF1 is the
“normal” approac
