I use AF-C mode, focusing by using the shutter halfway (the default) for macro &amp; fish. To switch between AF-S and AF-C mode, you hold down the front left button that is inside the AF\/M switch, then rotate the rear command dial. Rotating the front command dial lets you switch between &#8220;S&#8221;, &#8220;D 51&#8221; and &#8220;Auto&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can move the focus off the shutter to the back focus button (AF-ON button) when shooting pelagics to prevent your camera from hunting in the blue water.
