P-AF – Changing the auto focus mode
For auto focusing, this camera is equipped with a
contrast detection system measured by CCD and a
phase difference detection system measured by AF
sensor. You can select whether to use only the
contrast detection system or to use the contrast
detection system in conjunction with the phase
difference detection system.
OFF The camera focuses on the subject using
only the contrast detection system.
ON The camera focuses on the subject using both the contrast detection
system and the phase difference detection system. Focusing is
performed faster than when OFF is selected.
