Blocked Shot AF Response
Choose how quickly focus responds when something passes
between the subject and the camera. Choose from values
between
5
(
Delayed
) and
1
(
Quick
). The higher the value, the
slower the response and the less likely you are to lose focus on your
original subject. The lower the value, the quicker the response and
the easier it is to shift focus to objects crossing your field of view.
Note that
2
and
1
(
Quick
) are equivalent to

auto-area AF is selected for AF-area mode (
