Focusing Modes

1) One-shot AF:

At focus completion, AF operation stops, AF lock
occurs and the shutter release is enabled.

2) AI Servo AF:

AF system tracks moving subject until immediately
prior to exposure, includes predictive focusing function,
shutter release enabled at all times (however, predictive
focus control has priority in continuous exposure
mode); in-focus indicator does not light when focus is
achieved, but blinks at 8 Hz when autofocusing is
impossible.

3) Manual focusing:

Possible by setting the lens’ focus mode switch to “M
and operating the lens’ manual focusing ring. In-focus
indicator lights up when focus is achieved (with EF
lenses having maximum aperture of f/5.6 or larger).

AF Working Range:

DCS 520: EV -1 ~ 17 (ISO 200).
DCS 560: EV 0 ~ 18 (ISO 100).
