Notes on continuous AF
◆
Because the camera focuses continuously without pressing the shutter button, note the
following:
i Watch the battery level carefully since the camera consumes more power in this mode than in other
Focus modes (S-AF and MF).
i If the Auto power off function is set to “OFF”, particular attention must be given to the battery level.
