> mode, while you press the shutter button halfway to focus
a still subject, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the
shot and press the shutter button completely to take the picture. This is
called “focus lock”.
In the < A > mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes)
while or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus the subject
continuously. As long as the Area AF frame covers the subject while
you press the shutter button halfway, the focusing will be continuous.
When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.
