Setting Focus and Exposure with the AEL/AFL Button

(K AEL/AFL)

G J [K AEL/AFL]

Choose how the camera sets focus and exposure when the shutter button or AEL/

AFL button is pressed. The camera normally focuses and locks exposure when the

shutter button is pressed halfway, but this can be changed according to the subject or

shooting conditions.

S-AF

Choose the focus or metering operation performed using the shutter or

AEL/AFL button (P. 202).

C-AF

FAF

Half Way AF

Choose whether the camera focuses when the shutter is pressed halfway.

[Operative]: Pressing the shutter button halfway initiates autofocus

regardless of whether autofocus is currently assigned to the AEL/AFL

button. In [C-AF] mode, the last button pressed is used to maintain focus.

This option has no effect in [MF] or [FAF] mode.

[Inoperative]: Pressing the shutter button halfway will not initiate autofocus if

autofocus is currently assigned to the AEL/AFL button.

Face Priority

Choose whether the AEL/AFL and shutter buttons perform the same or

different functions when faces are detected.

If [On] is selected, the camera will focus on faces or eyes when the AEL/

AFL button is pressed.

If [Off] is selected, the camera will instead focus on the current AF target.
