How to set focus when taking a still picture (AFS/AFC)
AFS
“AFS” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Single”.
Focus is set automatically when the shutter button is pressed halfway. Focus
will be fixed while it is pressed halfway.
AFC
“AFC” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Continuous”.
This mode allows you to compose a picture more easily by continuously
focusing on the movement of the subject while the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
When taking pictures of a moving subject, the camera predicts the
movement of the subject and focuses on it. (motion prediction)
• It may take time to focus on the subject when you operate the zoom from Wide
to Tele or suddenly change the subject from a distant one to a nearby one.
• Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
• While the shutter button pressed halfway, shake may be seen on the screen.
• For the [AFC] feature, refer to the website on
