Regarding
the
FSO/FSOo's autofocus
feature
Your F501F50o
is
factory-set
to
Single Servo AF
operation. This means that once your subject
is
in
focus, focus remains locked
as
long
as
the
shutter release button
is
lightly pressed. You can
recompose the picture, and the subject will
remain
in
focus, provided you maintain the same
subject-to-camera distance. (See page
41
for
details.)
If
the subject moves, take your finger
off the shutter release button, then lightly press it
again to restart autofocus operation .
• In the ADV ANCED mode,
in
addition
to
Single Servo AF, you can choose Continuous
Servo AF which keeps autofocus operation
going continuously
as
long
as
you keep lightly
pressing the shutter release button. (For detai l
s,
see page 34.) Use Continuous Servo AF for
sports and other action photography.
