Shooting with Servo AF
Still Images Movies
This mode helps avoid missing shots of subjects in motion, because the
camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long
as you press the shutter button halfway.
1
Configure the setting.
z Press the [ ] button, choose [ONE
SHOT] in the menu, and then choose
[SERVO] (= 30).
2
Focus.
z The focus and exposure are maintained
where the blue AF frame is displayed
while you are pressing the shutter button
halfway.
● Focusing may not be possible in some shooting conditions.
● In low-light conditions, Servo AF may not be activated (AF frames
may not turn blue) when you press the shutter button halfway.
In this case, the focus and exposure are set according to the
specified AF method.
● Continuous shooting (= 44) is slower in Servo AF mode.
● If optimum exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and
aperture value are displayed in orange. Release the shutter
button, and then press it halfway again.
● AF lock shooting (= 94) is not available.
● Not available when using the self-timer (= 42).
● To have the camera keep adjusting the focus during continuous
shooting (= 44), specify Servo AF with [AF method] set to
[1-point AF].
● You can also configure this setting by accessing MENU
(= 30) ► [
3] tab ► [AF operation].

Still Images Movies
● Detects people’s faces, and then sets the focus, exposure (evaluative
metering only), and white balance ([ ] only).
● After you aim the camera at the subject, a white frame is displayed
around the person’s face determined by the camera to be the main
subject, and up to two gray frames are displayed around other
detected faces.
● When the camera detects movement, frames will follow moving
subjects, within a certain range.
● After you press the shutter button halfway, up to nine green frames are
displayed around faces in focus.
● When no faces are detected, or when only gray frames are
displayed (without a white frame), pressing the shutter button
halfway will display green frames in the areas in focus. Note that
the maximum number of frames depends on the aspect ratio
(= 49) setting.
● If no faces are detected in Servo AF (= 91) mode, the AF
frame is displayed in the center of the screen when you press the
shutter button halfway.
● Examples of faces that cannot be detected:
- Subjects that are distant or extremely close
- Subjects that are dark or light
- Faces in profile, at an angle, or partly hidden
● The camera may misinterpret non-human subjects as faces.
● No AF frames are displayed if the camera cannot focus when you
press the shutter button halfway.
