FOCUS-MODE SWITCH
Single-shot AF (Autofocus), continuous AF, and
manual focus is set with the focus-mode switch.
Slide the switch to select the appropriate focus
mode.
Single-shot AF - a general purpose autofocusing mode. Its operation is
described in the basic recording section.
Continuous AF - used for photographing moving subjects. The camera
continuously tracks and focuses on the subject.
Place the focus area on the subject. The four-way key of
the controller can be used to move the area anywhere in
the live image for off center subjects.
Press the shutter-release button partway down to engage
the subject lock; the focus signal will confirm focus. If the
subject moves or the camera is panned, the focus area
will follow the subject. Focus and exposure will change as
the subject moves and lighting conditions change.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take
the picture. When the shutter button is released the focus
area returns to the center of the live image. Subject
tracking can be disabled and AE lock can be activated in
section 4 of the recording menu (p. 80).
