A The B Buttons
For the purpose of focusing the camera,
pressing either of the B buttons 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 either of the B buttons is
pressed.
This allows the camera to track focus while attempting to
predict where the subject will be when the shutter is released.
