changes in the distance to the subject.

If

Shutter/AF-ON is selected, both the

shutter-release button and the

B button

can be used to initiate autofocus. If

AF-ON

only is selected, autofocus is only initiated
when the

B button is pressed.

Choose whether the active focus point is highlighted in red in the
viewfinder.

C Long

When the distance to the subject changes abruptly, the
camera waits for the specified period (long, normal, or
short) before adjusting the distance to the subject. This
prevents the camera from refocusing when the subject is
briefly obscured by objects passing through the frame.

D Normal

E Short

Off

The camera immediately adjusts focus when the distance to
the subject changes. Use when photographing a series of
subjects at varying distances in quick succession.
