A
DVANCED RECORDING
This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected
separately in the Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode
menus. The selected focus mode is not reset when the camera is turned off
With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie recording, the autofocus mode can be
specified between single-shot AF (AF-S) and continuous AF (AF-C) in section 2 of the
menu (p. 44). Single-shot AF allows the focus to be locked before recording the image,
see the basic recording section. Continuous AF continually focuses the camera. When
capturing still images, the camera continues to focus when the shutter-release button is
held partway down. In movie recording, focus is locked when the shutter-release button
is partway down, but it is continually adjusted during recording.
FOCUS MODES
When using the shutter-priority, aperture-
priority, or manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38)
with manual focus, press the central button of
the controller to switch between using the
up/down keys to focus or to adjust the
exposure. The active function is indicated in
blue.
When focusing manually, a scale shows the
approximate subject distance. The scale changes
depending on the focusing range.
Use the up/down controller keys to focus; the
monitor image is automatically magnified by a
maximum of 2.5X depending on the digital zoom
setting. The live image returns to normal after two
seconds, when zooming, or when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway down.
