Selecting the AF OperationN
This AF operation is suited for moving subjects. While you hold
down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing on
the subject continuously.
When the drive mode is set to <
o> for high-speed continuous
shooting, the maximum continuous shooting speed will be approx.
4.3 shots/sec. The pictures will be taken with priority given to the
continuous shooting speed. With the <i> low-speed continuous
shooting setting, “Subject-tracking priority” will be used for shooting.
For flash photography, the continuous shooting speed will become
slower.
When focus is achieved, the AF point will turn blue.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
When [AF method] is set to [u+Tracking] or [Flexizone - Multi],
focusing will be continuous as long as the area frame can track the
subject.
Servo AF for Moving Subjects
Depending on the lens used, the distance to the subject, and the
subject’s speed, the camera may not be able to achieve correct focus.
Zooming during continuous shooting may throw off the focus. Zoom first,
then recompose and shoot.
When [Servo AF] is set, the image-recording quality cannot be set to
41 or 61. If 41 or 61 is set, the image will be recorded in
1 quality.
When [Servo AF] is set and [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is set
(p.202), [High ISO speed NR] will automatically switch to [Standard].
If [Servo AF] is set, pressing the button assigned for the function will not
take effect if you set 41 or 61 image-quality for the [One-touch
image quality setting] or [One-touch image quality (hold)] (p.507)
with [83: Custom Controls].
With Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
