A 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.
A Predictive Focus Tracking
In AF-C mode, 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.
