AF MODES
Single-shot AF (Autofocus), continuous AF,
automatic AF, and direct manual focus is set with the
function button (p. 56).
The AF system activates when the shutter-release
button is pressed partway down or with the controller
(p. 57). Focus is confirmed with the viewfinder focus
signals, see page 29.
Single-shot AF - a general purpose autofocusing mode. Its operation is
described in the basic recording section. Focus lock is available (p. 30).
Continuous AF - used for photographing moving subjects. The camera
continuously focuses on the subject even when the shutter-release button is
pressed partway down. Spot and local AF areas illuminate as the subject moves
through the wide focus frames to indicate the point of focus when the continuous
AF is active. Focus lock is not available.
Direct manual focus - operates like automatic AF, but after the AF system
focuses, the focus can be adjusted manually by the photographer. Press the
shutter-release button partway down or press the controller to activate the AF
system. When the viewfinder focus signal is displayed, manually focus the lens.
Do not attempt to focus the lens until the focus signal is displayed.
Automatic AF - this AF mode automatically switches between single-shot AF
and continuous AF depending on the subject’s motion.
