Adjusting the Auto Focus Operation
AF transition speed
You can set the speed of the focus drive for when the subject changes using [Shooting] – [Focus] – [AF Transition Speed] in the full menu.
When [1(Slow)] is selected, the focus moves slowly when the subject to be focused changes, enabling the shooting of impressive images.
When [7(Fast)] is selected, the focus switches between subjects quickly. The subject that enters the frame is immediately focused, making this setting ideal for documentary shooting which requires quick focusing.
A: Subject in the background is in focus
B: Shifting between subjects
[1(Slow)]: Focus changes slowly
⁞
[7(Fast)]: Focus changes rapidly
C: Subject in the foreground is in focus
AF subject shift sensitivity
You can set the sensitivity for shifting between subjects using [Shooting] – [Focus] – [AF Subj. Shift Sens.] in the full menu.
When [1(Locked On)] is selected, the focus does not readily shift even if another subject moves in front of the in-focus subject. When [5(Responsive)] is selected, the focus shifts to give priority to the subject that moves in front.
Hint
- If [AF Speed/Sens.] is assigned to an assignable button, the level bars for adjusting values are displayed in the following order each time the button is pressed, allowing you to change the [AF Transition Speed] and [AF Subj. Shift Sens.] settings.
AF transition speed → AF subject shift sensitivity → No display …
