Mode Description
AF-A
Auto-servo AF: Camera automatically selects single-servo autofocus
if subject is stationary, continuous-servo autofocus if subject is
moving.
AF-S
Single-servo AF: For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
At default settings, shutter can
only be released when in-focus indicator (I) is displayed (focus
priority; 0 327).

continuously while shutter-release button is pressed halfway; if

necessary.
At default settings, shutter can be released whether or
not subject is in focus (release priority; 0 326).
