Setting Guide (For Still Photography)

If [AF-ON only] is selected for Cus-

tom Setting a6 [AF activation], the

camera will focus only when the

AF‑ON button is pressed, freeing you

to concentrate on the shutter-re-

lease button during portrait or

sports photography and in other sit-

uations where you focus using AF‑C.

The camera focuses while the AF‑ON button is pressed and

pauses when the button is released. If you press the shut-

ter-release button while focus is paused, the camera will

not focus again but will only release the shutter. If you use

the sub-selector for focus-point selection and the AF‑ON

button to focus, you can quickly compose shots using only

small motions of your right thumb.
