S-AF (single AF) shooting
Focusing is performed once when the shutter button is pressed halfway. If focusing fails, release
your finger from the shutter button and press it halfway again. This mode is suitable for taking
pictures of still subjects or subjects with limited movement.
Press the shutter button halfway.
• When the focus is locked, the AF confirmation mark
lights up.
• A beep sound is output when the subject is in focus.
Simultaneous use of S-AF mode and MF mode (S-AF+MF)
This function allows you to fine-adjust focus manually by
turning the focus ring after AF is performed in the S-AF
mode. When the shutter button is not pressed, MF
operation is available.
• You can fine-adjust the focus with the focus ring if
you have pressed the shutter button halfway and AF
is confirmed. You can also fine-adjust the focus with
the focus ring when the shutter button is not pressed
halfway.
C-AF (continuous AF) shooting
The camera repeats focusing while the shutter button remains pressed halfway. When the
subject is in motion, the camera focuses on the subject in anticipation of its movement
(Predictive AF). Even if the subject moves or you change the composition of the picture, the
camera continues trying to focus.
Press the shutter button halfway and keep it in this position.
• When the subject is in focus and locked, the AF confirmation mark lights up.
• The AF frame does not light up, even when the subject is in focus.
• The camera repeats focusing. Even if the subject moves or even if you change the
composition of the picture, focusing is tried continuously.
• A beep sound is output when the subject is in focus. The beep sound is not output after the
third continuous AF operation, even when the subject is in focus.
