Focus Mode
Select Focus mode from the Quick settings display to adjust the setting (~ 48).
Choose how the camera focuses. AF-S and AF-C are available only in P, S, A, and M
modes.
AF-A Auto-servo AF (default setting)
Camera automatically selects single-servo autofocus when subject is judged to be
stationary, continuous-servo autofocus when subject
is judged to be moving.
AF-S Single-servo AF
For stationary subjects. Focus locks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
AF-C Continuous-servo AF
For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
MF Manual focus
User focuses manually (II! 61).
~ Continuous-Servo AF
Priority is given to shutter response, meaning that shutter is released in wider range of focus than
when single-servo
AF is selected. Shutter may sometimes be released before in-focus indicator (e)
is displayed in viewfinder. The same operation is performed when focus mode automatically
switches from auto-servo
AF to continuous-servo AF.
B Manual Focus
When MF is selected for Focus mode in any shooting mode, switching to another shooting mode
does not affect the focus mode setting.

~ The AF-Assist Illuminator
Ifthe subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will light automatically to
assist the autofocus operation when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. The AF-assist illuminator will
not light in continuous-servo AF or
manual focus mode, in
~, or ~ mode, or if the center focus point is not
selected or if Off has been selected for Custom Setting 9 (AF assist;
m 111). The illuminator has a range of about 0.5-3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-9 ft.
lOin.); when using the illuminator, use a lens with a focal length of 24mm
to 200mm and remove the lens hood.
