Jun 09, 2008 14:14 | #5 I think this could be the source of confusion. AE lock is meaningless in manual mode, but the camera is still capable of auto focus lock. Perhaps the OP is trying to use the * button for AF lock, which is possible using the CFs on the MarkIII.

But if you prefer pressing the "*" button instead of the AF-ON button, you can swap those two buttons with C.Fn IV-2 set to 1. ...Leo

apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | But in all cases, the * shown in the viewfinder has nothing to do with focus lock. It signifies exposure lock only, and that's something that's inherent in manual mode, so there's no special button for that when using M mode. Anders
