A The B Button
For the purpose of focusing the camera,
pressing the B 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.
A Predictive Focus Tracking
In continuous-servo AF, 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 B button is pressed.
This
allows the camera to track focus while attempting to predict where the
subject will be when the shutter is released.
