I just finished reading an excerpt entitled "The Back Button Autofocus Guide For Nikon Cameras" and there is mention of his ebook @ $16.00 and more books (hard or soft is not mentioned) to be available in 2019. If a PDF version exists, can someone post the link, that would be fantastic.

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. When you buy the book you get it as a pdf download (as far as I know it doesn't exist in any other format). You do that at Steve's website.

Thanks to all who replied.

I guess my original post was unclear as to what I was asking, which was how to lock focus point on the Nikon D5300. Many picked up on what I was asking. for those who didn't, my apology.

I did see reference to the Steve Perry book and will be looking to see if my local library has it and Barnes & Noble.

I also saw referenced, I think page 53 or something in UG, which I'll also look at.

Again thanks to all who answered me to date and thos who may continue to answer in the future.

I forgot to ask you if you have the "D5300 Reference Manual". This is not the same as the "D5300 User's Manual"!

The Reference Manual has much more information than the User's Manual and the information is easier to find .... and it's free!

Download the Reference Manual on the Nikon site:

[quote=jayw]Hopefully this hasn't been discussed before as I'm unable to find anything, so here goes...

This may not answer your question but here goes. When I want to maintain a focus at least most of the time I use autofocus by pressing on the shutter and when it focuses I maintain that by keeping the shutter partially press not enough to click the shutter but enough to Keep it in focus then I move the camera to the position I want and I finish pressing the shutter. And if I have time enough and want another way I use manual. Saves fiddling with buttons.
