Menu item details
(Single-shot AF):
The product locks the focus once focusing is complete. Use this when the subject is motionless.
(Automatic AF):
[Single-shot AF] and [Continuous AF] are switched according to the movement of the subject.
When the shutter button is pressed halfway down, the product locks the focus when it
determines that the subject is motionless, or continues to focus when the subject is in motion.
If the lens has a focus mode switch, set it to “AF” or “MF.”
With an SSM lens or an SAM lens that supports DMF (Direct Manual Focus)*, you can
switch the focus mode to any mode including the auto focus and manual focus modes
by operating the camera, even when the focus mode switch on the lens is in the “AF”
position.
