huh so normally, the canon 55-250 stm only lets you use the focus ring if you’re in mf. if you’re in af, you need to half press the shutter to use the ring.
if you change C.Fn-9 from 0 to 3 on a 1000d, you’ll need to press * to af instead of half shutter, but the focus ring works at all times in af mode!
this makes it easier to af to the subject or something nearby, then use the focus ring. potentially good for birds?
