Notes on continuous AF
◆
Because the camera focuses continuously without pressing the shutter button, note the
following:
i The battery level (power consumption) increases because data is being overwritten in the camera’s
internal memory.
i If the Power Save feature is set to “OFF”, particular attention must be given to the battery level.
