You can adjust the auto focus operation by changing the transition speed and the subject shift sensitivity.

Setting the AF transition speed

You can set the speed of the focus drive for when the subject changes using the [AF Transition Speed] button in the camera control panel.

Select the speed from the range [Speed 1] (Slow) to [Speed 7] (Fast) in increments of 1. Press the < button to decrease the value (slower) or the > button to increase the value (faster).

When set to low speed, the focus moves slowly when the subject to be focused changes, enabling the shooting with impressive image expression.

When set to high speed, the focus switches between subjects quickly. In the example below, the focus changes quickly from the building in the background to the person walking in the foreground. The subject that enters the frame is immediately focused, making this setting ideal for documentary shooting which requires quick focusing.

AF subject shift sensitivity

You can set the sensitivity for changing between subjects using [AF Subj. Shift Sens.] button in the camera control panel.

Select the sensitivity from the range [Sens 1] (Locked On) to [Sens 5] (Responsive) in increments of 1. Press the < button to decrease the value (change slowly) or the > button to increase the value (change rapidly).

When set to a low sensitivity, the focus does not readily shift even if another subject moves in front of the in-focus subject.

When set to a high sensitivity, the focus shifts to give priority to the subject that moves in front.
