manual abstract
• [Servo AF] (=150) is set to [On] and cannot be changed. • Tracking may not be possible when subjects are too small or move too rapidly, or when subject color or brightness matches that of the background too closely. • [AF-Point Zoom] on the [4] tab is not available. • [e] is not available. • The camera can detect subjects even if you press the shutter button halfway without pressing the < > button. After your shot, [ ] is displayed in the center of the screen. StillImages Shooting with Servo AFThis mode helps avoid missing shots of subjects in motion, because the camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long as you press the shutter button halfway. 1 Configure the setting. zzPress the button, choose [Servo AF] on the [4] tab, and then choose [On] (=48). 2 Focus. zzThe focus and exposure are maintained where the blue AF frame is displayed while you are pressing the shutter button halfway. • Focusing may not be possible in some shooting conditions. • In low-light conditions, Servo AF may not be activated (AF frames may not turn blue) when you press the shutter button halfway. In this case, the focus and exposure are set according to the specified AF frame mode. • If adequate exposure cannot be obtained, shutter speeds and aperture values are displayed in orange. Release the shutter button, and then press it halfway again. • AF lock shooting is not available. • [AF-Point Zoom] on the [4] tab is not available. • Not available when using the self-timer (=64). StillImagesChanging the Focus Setting You can change default camera operation of constantly focusing on subjects it is aimed at, even when the shutter button is not pressed. Instead, you can limit camera focusing to the moment you press the shutter button halfway. zzPress the button, choose [Continuous AF] on the [4] tab, and then choose [Off] (=48). Helps avoid missing sudden photo opportunities, because the camera On constantly focuses on subjects until you press the shutter button halfway. Conserves battery power, because the Off camera does not focus constantly.
