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.
During continuous shooting, the product automatically shoots with Continuous AF from the
second shot.
(Continuous AF):
The product continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. Use
this when the subject is in motion. In [Continuous AF] mode, there is no beep when the camera
focuses.
(DMF):
You can make fine adjustments manually after the focus is locked, letting you focus on a subject
more quickly than when using the manual focus from the beginning. This is convenient in
situations such as macro shooting.
