(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. During continuous shooting,
the product automatically shoots with Continuous AF from the
second shot.
