Good for you. As for me, I use the button that all manufactures spend thousands on, the original one on top of the camera. I have never missed a shot yet. I use the rear button most folks use as back button focus and I assign that to single point focus for birds in the bush or tree, I simple press that rear button and my single spot appears in the viewfinder, I place that one little spot on the bird and fire away. Works for me.
I use my Canon 5d mk iv set up in exactly the same way. Tried bbf several times but never liked using it.

I, too, have to thank Steve Perry for turning me on to BBF. It's a great tool. You do have to get used to it and I sometimes do find myself pressing the shutter release wondering what's wrong with it not focusing. But once the new reflexes kick on inside my head, the increased control in timing and framing is fantastic. Like everything, what works for you is what's best for YOU.

There's nothing better! Even my 8 year old granddaughter prefers it after trying it out on my 7D Mk II, so I had her set her SL1 for BBF.

So sorry i certainly did not mean to “hijack” another user’s thread with my own questions. it was all regarding BB focus so i did not realize that was so offensive. I will not make that mistake again
...I think the other poster was being over sensitive. There *is* a loose etiquette for posting, but many, if not all, of us have not upheld it consistently. March on, new person.
