• Subjects seen through glass
• Fast-moving subjects
• Reflective light or shiny surfaces
• Flashing light
• Back-lit subjects
• Continuously repetitive patterns, such as the facades of buildings
• Subjects in the focusing area with different focal distances
Hint
• In [Continuous AF] mode, you can lock the focus by pressing and holding the
button that has been assigned the [Focus Hold] function.
• When you set the focus to infinity in the [Manual Focus] mode or the [DMF]
mode, make sure that the focus is on a sufficiently distant subject by checking
the monitor or the viewfinder.
Note
• [Automatic AF] is available only when you are using a lens that supports
phase detection AF (page 32).
• When [Continuous AF] or [Automatic AF] is set, the angle of view may change
little by little while focusing. This does not affect the actual recorded images.
• Only [Continuous AF] and [Manual Focus] are available when shooting movies
or when the mode dial is set to (S&Q Motion).
