Operate the main dial so the dial so the desired AF mode indicator appears in the LCD panel.

  • Make sure the lens focus mode switch is set to AF for autofocus shooting.

One Shot AF

Use this mode with stationary subject. The shutter will not release until the subject is focused. Exposure is determined when the subject is focused. By keeping the shutter button pressed to the halfway position the focus and exposure settings remain locked allowing you to recompose the picture as desired

  • The shutter will not release if the in-focus indicator is still blinking. Try refocusing the subject at a different position or use manual focusing.

AI Servo AF

Use this mode when taking pictures of moving subjects. The lens focuses the subject continuously with the selected focusing point while the shutter button is pressed halfway. AI Servo's predictive focus function can track subjects moving toward or away from the camera.
