(Automatic AF):
[Single-shot AF] and [Continuous AF] are switched according to the movement of the subject. When the shutter button is pressed halfway down, the product locks the focus when it determines that the subject is motionless, or continues to focus when the subject is in motion.
(Continuous AF):
The product continues to focus while the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. Use this when the subject is in motion.
(Direct Manual Focus):
Allows you to use manual focus and auto focus in combination.
(Manual Focus):
Adjusts the focus manually. If you cannot focus on the intended subject using auto focus, use manual focus.
Note
- If the subject is too close, the image may show any dust or fingerprints on the lens. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth, etc.
- When [Focus Mode] is set to [Continuous AF], the beep does not sound when focus is achieved.
Hint
- If you shoot movies when [Focus Mode] is set to [Single-shot AF] or [DMF], the [Focus Mode] will automatically change to (Continuous AF) and then continue to focus.
