SINGLE SHOT FOCUS
At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter release will be blocked
until the camera nds the optimum focus setting. This ensures
that no captures are made that are not nely focused. However,
this delay is normally only a fraction of a second in good lighting
conditions with a clear focusing pattern.
In this mode the lens will focus at one distance and will remain
focused at that distance while pressure remains on the shutter
release button. In this way, you can focus on a nearby object,
temporarily positioned within the focusing zone on the viewing
screen and then without releasing pressure on the shutter
release button, recompose knowing that the focus remains on
the object chosen even though it is now outside the focusing
zone. Releasing the pressure on the shutter release button and
pressing again half way would now change the focus setting to
the distance of the object within the focusing zone.
See Manual Override in Autofocus Mode for a useful way of
working with manual and autofocus settings in a combined
manner.
CONTINUOUS FOCUS
At Continuous setting (AF C), the shutter can be released rapidly
before the lens is focused in order to capture a split second
shot (in Single Shot, a capture cannot be made until the camera
has had time to focus). However, the camera will continue to
focus if a moving subject is within the focusing zone or if you
recompose, even though the shutter release button is half-
pressed.
One method to use this feature when photographing in fast
changing situations is to keep the shutter release button
pressed down. The lens focus continuously, and by momentarily
releasing the pressure on the shutter release and then
immediately pressing again, you minimize the amount of time
needed for the lens to check focus ensuring a split second shot
with optimum focus.
