The 700D, called the 5Ti in the USA has to have the back button focus option. My old XTi does. I've been trying to learn how to use BBF on my 7D. Lots of fun, but living and learning from my mistakes.
Someday I'll have it down pat. I'm not changing, so I have to make mistakes, over and over, until I learn. Buy the book by David Busch entitled 'Compact Field Guild' (700D/T5i) and he walks you thru it.

I have that book, but I don't find back focusing. Index---what is it under?
thank you

I did a web search for "Canon 700D back button focus" and came up with this.

I shoot Nikon and got hooked on it watching a Tony Northrup video, found here. He explains the whys of it here:

I'm terribly sorry. I was under the assumption that it told more about it. What little I can find is on the top of page 30. AF-ON.

On the T5i (700D) press Menu, then scroll over to Custom Function (C.Fn), press set, then setting 1 (AF/AE Lock), set again, then press Menu again and you're set.

That's ok. Thanks for getting back to me. I Tried it by a video, but not sure if it is set correct. Simple but complicated

Hi folks,
I would like to thank all of the contributors who helped me find Back Button focusing methods.

You are all so generous with your assistance & I sincerely appreciate it.

Now got to practice to master it.

Thank you all.......
