Description
Description
AF-S
(SINGLE AF)
Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for stationary subjects.
AF-C
(CONTINUOUS AF)
The camera continually adjusts focus to reflect changes in the distance to the subject even
when the shutter button is not pressed halfway (note that this increases the drain on the
battery). Choose for moving subjects.
MF
(MF)
Focus manually using the sub-command dial. Rotate the sub-command dial left to reduce
the focus distance, right to increase. The manual focus indicator indicates how closely the
focus distance matches the distance to the subject in the focus brackets (the red bar indicates
the focus distance, the white bar the depth of field, or in other words the distance in front of
and behind the focus point that appears to be in focus). Choose for manual control of focus
or in situations in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus (P 34). Intelligent
Face Detection turns off automatically.
