DVANCED RECORDING
FULL-TIME AF
With full-time AF active, the autofocus systems continually focuses to keep the monitor
image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. When the
camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function
off can help conserve battery power. Full-time AF can be turned on and off in section 2
of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).
Full-time AF is active regardless of the menu setting when using macro in auto-recording
or with a Digital Subject Program as well as when using the sports action digital subject
program. When the red low-battery warning is displayed, full-time AF is disabled.
FLASH MODE
The flash modes can be changed in section 2 of the P, A, S,
and M menus (p. 44). This menu option is used when
another function is assigned to the flash mode button, see
page 67 on the custom key function. For more on flash
modes, refer to page 26.
