Basic AF performance of
Wide Fast Steadfast
The 6000 employs a focal plane phase-
detection AF sensor with 179 AF points spread
to cover nearly the entire frame. The wide AF
area allows instant AF response to a subject
positioned even off the center of the frame.
Advanced Fast Hybrid AF combines phase-
detection AF and contrast-detection AF to achieve
incredibly fast 0.06 sec.* AF performance.
With Focus Mode set to AF-C, the camera
displays one or more small green frames
over the area of focus when (and maintains
focus on that subject as long as) the shutter
button is pressed halfway down. Such stead-
fast tracking sticks to a subject like glue.

High-speed, highly accurate Fast Hybrid AF
works as well for shooting movies as it does
for shooting still photos. Depending on the
scene, phase-detection AF or contrast-detec-
tion AF may be used for very precise focusing.
