One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
This AF operation is suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once.
- When focus is achieved, the AF point will turn green and the beeper will sound.
- The focus remains locked while you hold down the shutter button halfway, allowing you to recompose the image before taking the picture.
- For details on the continuous shooting speed for continuous shooting, see Selecting the Drive Mode.
Note
- If [: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.
- See Lens electronic MF when using a lens that supports electronic manual focusing.
