Continuous
In Continuous setting (AF C), the shutter can be released rapidly before the lens is focused in
order to capture a split-second shot (in Single Shot, an exposure cannot be made until the
camera has had time to focus). However, the camera will continue to focus if a moving
subject is within the focusing zone or if you recompose, even though the shutter release
button is half pressed.
One method to exploit this feature when photographing in a rapidly changing situation such
as photojournalism, for example, is to keep the shutter release button pressed down. In this
way the lens focuses constantly (according to the focusing zone) and by momentarily releas-
ing the pressure on the shutter release and then immediately pressing again, you minimize
the amount of time needed for the lens to check focus, thus ensuring a split-second shot at
optimum focus.

In camera active mode:
