Description
S
(SINGLE AF)
Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for stationary subjects.
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
batteries). Choose for moving subjects.
M
(MANUAL FOCUS)
Focus manually using the focus ring. Rotate the ring 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. Choose for manual control of focus or in situa-
tions in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus (P 35). Intelligent Face Detection
turns off automatically.
