Incidentally, Pentax does trap focusing. It's called Catch-In-Focus, and works pretty much the same way. My personal suggestion, which I assume you can do on Nikon as well, is to seperate your autofocus from your shutter entirely, and use a dedicated autofocus button. Then you don't have to worry about turning away and turning back and whatever. You just focus where the object WILL be, lock the shutter button down, and wait. Soon as the camera gets focus confirmation, it'll fire.
