[Single-shot AF] and [Continuous AF] are switched according to the movement of
the subject. When the shutter button is pressed halfway down, the product locks
the focus when it determines that the subject is motionless, or continues to focus
when the subject is in motion.
(Continuous AF):
The product continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held
halfway down. Use this when the subject is in motion.
(Direct Manual Focus):
Allows you to use manual focus and auto focus in combination.
(Manual Focus):
Adjusts the focus manually. If you cannot focus on the intended subject using auto
focus, use manual focus.
Note
If the subject is too close, the image may show any dust or fingerprints on the
lens. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth, etc.
When [Focus Mode] is set to [Continuous AF], the beep does not sound when
focus is achieved.
Hint
If you shoot movies when [Focus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF] or [DMF], the
[Focus Mode] will automatically change to
(Continuous AF) and then
continue to focus.
