Focus mode details
S (Single-shot AF):
The camera focuses and the focus is locked when you press the shutter button
halfway down. Use this mode when the subject is motionless.
C (Continuous AF):
The camera continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held
halfway down. Use this mode when the subject is in motion.
DMF (DMF):
After focusing automatically, make fine focus adjustment manually (Direct Manual
Focus).
MF (Manual Focus):
Adjusts the focus manually.
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.
Once you change the focus method, the set focus distance is erased.
When [Focus Mode] is set to [Continuous AF], the beep does not sound when
focus is achieved.
Hint
If you cannot achieve focus for the intended subject using auto focus, select MF
or DMF, then shoot again.
