Recommended recording scenes
[AFS]
Subject is still (Scenery,
anniversary photograph,
etc.)
“AFS” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Single”.
The focus stays locked while the shutter button is
pressed halfway, so you can perform recording while
changing the composition.
[AFF]
Movement cannot be
predicted (Children, pets,
etc.)
“AFF” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Flexible”.
If the subject moves while the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the focus is readjusted automatically according
to the movement of the subject.
[AFC]
Subject is moving (Sport,
trains, etc.)
“AFC” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Continuous”.
In this mode, while the shutter button is pressed
halfway, focusing is constantly performed to match the
movement of the subject.
When recording using [AFF], [AFC]
• When the subject is moving, the focusing is performed by predicting the subject position at
the time of recording. (Movement prediction)
• It may take time to focus on the subject when you operate the zoom from Wide to Tele or
suddenly change the subject from a distant one to a nearby one.
• Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
• While the shutter button is pressed and held halfway, shake may be seen on the screen.
• In the following cases, [AFF] or [AFC] operates in the same way as [AFS]:
– When recording with [4K Burst(S/S)]
– In low light situations
• It is fixed to [AFS] when Panorama Shot Mode is set.
• [AFF] is not available when recording 4K photos. [Continuous AF] works during recording.
• The Focus Mode setting cannot be changed when recording is performed with the Post Focus
function.
