I just replaced my D70s with a D7000. The D70s allowed me to press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus, and then recompose my picture without the focus changing before pressing the button the rest of the way for a photo.
I want to have the AE-L AF-L button as a dedicated AE-L exposure lock only.
Is there a setting in the menu that allows the focus to be locked via pressing the shutter halfway? I've looked through the manual and looked through the menu and haven't figured it out yet.
Thank you for your help!
