B The AF-ON Button
For the purpose of focusing the camera,
pressing
the AF-ON button has the same effect as
pressing the shutter-release button halfway;
note, however,
that vibration reduction
(available
with VR lenses) can only be engaged
by pressing
the shutter-release button halfway.
B Predictive Focus Tracking
In continuous-servo AFt the camera will initiate predictive focus tracking
if the subject moves toward or away from the camera while the shutter-
release
button is pressed halfway or the AF-ON button is pressed. This
allows
the camera to track focus while attempting to predict where the
subject will be when the shutter is released.
