C-AF Lens Scanning (AF Scanner)
Choose whether the camera performs a focus scan. If the camera is unable to
focus, it will scan for the focus position by cycling the lens from the minimum focus
distance to infi nity. You can limit the scanning operation if desired.
• This item is for still photography. See page 146 for more information.
• The selected option takes effect when [C-AF], [C-AF+TR], [C-AF
b
], or [C-AF+TR
b
] is
chosen for [
K
AF Mode] (P. 115).
mode1
The camera will not scan if unable to focus. This prevents focus changing to such
an extent that you lose sight of your subject when attempting to track small objects
and the like.
mode2
When unable to focus, the camera scans only once at the start of the focus
operation. The camera will not scan again as long as the focus operation continues.
mode3
The camera scans when unable to focus, cycling focus as often as necessary if it
loses track of the subject during the focus operation.
