The camera focuses once when the shutter button is pressed halfway or the
AF-ON button is pressed. When the focus is locked in still photography mode,
a beep sounds, and the AF confirmation mark and the AF target mark light up.
When the focus is locked in movie recording mode, the AF confirmation mark
and the AF target are displayed. This mode is suitable for taking pictures of still
subjects or subjects with limited movement.

In photo shooting mode, the camera repeats measuring the distance between
the subject and the camera and focusing while the shutter button remains
pressed halfway or while the AF-ON button is pressed. When the subject is in
focus, the AF confirmation mark lights up on the monitor and the beep sounds
when the focus is locked at the first time.
In movie recording mode, the camera repeats focusing both before and during
recording.
This mode is suitable when the distance to the subject keeps changing.
