K. Auto Focus and Focus Aids
K3. Changing the AF speed and responsiveness
You can use the AF Transition Speed setting
(MENU:
Shooting – Focus – AF Transition Speed)
to adjust how
quickly the focus adjusts. When set to 7 (Fast) the focus will
move very quickly from one focus distance to another, this
may be useful for following fast moving objects and action.
When set to 1 (Slow) the focus will change from one distance
to another very slowly. This may be more appropriate for
drama.
RECOMMENDATION:
If the focus is set to a very
fast transition speed the focus can sometimes look
unnatural as the focus flicks quickly from one object
or subject to another. For more natural looking focus,
I recommend using a slightly slower setting than
default, perhaps 3.
The AF Subject Shift Sensitivity setting allow you to adjust
how strongly the AF will hold on to the object it is focused
on before releasing and focusing on another object
(MENU:
Shooting – Focus – AF Subj.Shift Sens)
. When set to
5(Responsive) if a new object comes into the shot the AF
will respond quickly and move the focus to the new object.
When set to 1(Locked On) the AF will remain focused on
