FOCUS-MODE BUTTON
Single-shot AF - a general purpose autofocusing mode. Its operation is described
in the basic recording section.
Continuous AF - used for photographing moving subjects. When the shutter-
release button is pressed partway down, the autofocus system will activate and
continue to focus until the exposure is made. When using continuous AF with the
wide focus area (p. 46), the AF sensors used to indicate the point of focus will not
be displayed.
The continuous AF mode may have difficulty focusing on fast subjects. In this
situation, use manual focus to focus on a point in the subject’s path and release
the shutter-release button just before the subject reaches that point; there is a
slight delay between the time the shutter-release button is pressed and the shutter
opens.
Manual focus - To manually focus the camera. See the following section for
operation.
Single-shot AF - focus confirmed and locked.
Continuous AF - focus confirmed.
Red focus indicator - the subject is too close or a special situation is preventing
the AF system from focusing. The shutter can be released.
Single-shot AF (Autofocus), continuous
AF, and manual focus is set with the
focus-mode button. Press the button to
select the appropriate focus mode.
The continuous AF and manual focus-
mode indicators will be displayed in the
lower right corner of the monitors.
