  • 1[NARROW] to 5[WIDE]: Set to the Wide side when shooting the subject with large motion in the depth direction. Set to the Narrow side when shooting the subject that does not move so much.

    When setting to the Wide side, you can focus on subjects whose distance from the camera changes one after another. The larger the setting value you set, the faster the focusing another subject.

    When setting to the Responsive side, you can focus subjects one after another when the subject is switched. The larger the setting value you set, the faster the focusing another subject.
