Focusing functions
C-AF (continuous AF) shooting
The camera repeats focusing. When the subject is in motion, the camera
focuses on the subject in anticipation of its movement (Predictive AF). Even if
the subject moves or you change the composition of the picture, the camera
continues trying to focus.
1 Press the shutter button halfway and
keep it in this position.
• When the subject is in focus and locked, the
AF confirmation mark lights up.
• The AF frame does not light up, even when
the subject is in focus.
• The camera repeats focusing. Even if the
subject moves or even if you change the
composition of the picture, focusing is tried
continuously.
• A beep sound is output when the subject is in
focus. The beep sound is not output after the
second continuous AF operation, even when
the subject is in focus.
2 Press the shutter button all the way.
Simultaneous use of C-AF mode and MF mode (C-AF+MF)
This function allows you to fine-adjust focus manually by turning the focus ring
and then AF is performed in the C-AF mode when the shutter button is
pressed. MF can be done when the shutter button is not pressed.
1 Adjust the focus manually to frame the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway to use AF.
3 Press the shutter button fully.
