You can change default camera operation of constantly focusing on
subjects it is aimed at, even when the shutter button is not pressed. Instead,
you can limit camera focusing to the moment you press the shutter button
halfway.
Press the <n> button, choose
[Continuous AF] on the [4] tab, and then
choose [Off] (=
