If the right setting is chosen, you can disable AF completely on the shutter button and move it completely to the AF... at least on the Canon's I've used. This way you can just keep shooting, working just like it does in MF mode until you hit the AF button again. Good tips, but I prefer the back-button AF method myself.

I use a Nikon D40, with kit lenses, and manually focusing is pretty tough between the teeny-tiny focus dot and the way I have to focus the lenses. Can you explain why using manual focus most of the time is better (I use the shutter half-pressed autofocus method) and also how switching to manual focus for landscapes helps? Thank you.
