G Using the SET UP Mode Functions
The AF MODE setting allows you to set the camera’s AF (Auto Focus) operating mode to
SAF, which is best for shooting still subjects, or CAF, which is ideal for subjects involving lots
of movement, such as sports events.
This option sets the speed of AF operation. The SPEED setting gives faster focusing, but
the image on the LCD monitor freezes during focusing. With the FRAME setting, focusing is
not as fast as the SPEED setting, but you can continue to check the image on the LCD
monitor during focusing. Choose the setting that best suits the subject of your shot.
