Changing the Focus Setting

Still Images

Movies

You can change default camera operation of constantly focusing on

subjects it is aimed at, even when the shutter button is not pressed.

Instead, you can limit camera focusing to the moment you press the

shutter button halfway.

Press the [

] button, choose

[Continuous AF] on the [ ] tab, and then

choose [Off] (= 30).

On

Helps avoid missing sudden photo opportunities, because

the camera constantly focuses on subjects until you press the

shutter button halfway.

Off

Conserves battery power, because the camera does not focus

constantly.

The camera can detect subjects even if you press the shutter
button halfway without pressing the [

] button. After your shot,

[ ] is displayed in the center of the screen.

If [Face ID] is set to [On], names will not display when registered
people are detected, but the names will be recorded in the still
images (= 47). However, a name will display if the subject
chosen to focus on is the same as a person detected with Face
ID.

button, and then press it halfway again.
