FOCUS-MODE SWITCH
Single-shot AF (Autofocus), continuous AF, and
manual focus is set with the focus-mode switch.
Slide the switch to select the appropriate focus
mode.
Single-shot AF - a general purpose autofocusing mode. Its operation is
described in the basic recording section.
Continuous AF - used for photographing moving subjects. The camera
continuously tracks and focuses on the subject.
Place the focus area on the subject. The four-way key of
the controller can be used to move the area anywhere in
the live image for off center subjects.
Press the shutter-release button partway down to
engage the subject lock; the focus signal will confirm
focus. If the subject moves or the camera is panned, the
focus area will follow the subject. Focus and exposure
will change as the subject moves and lighting conditions
change.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take
the picture. When the shutter button is released the
focus area returns to the center of the live image.
Subject tracking can be disabled and AE lock can be
activated in section 4 of the recording menu (p. 80).
Subject Tracking AF may not be effective under low light.
