G Using the SET UP Mode Functions
The AF MODE setting allows you to set the camera’s AF (Auto Focus) operating mode to
SAF, which is best for shooting still subjects, or CAF, which is ideal for subjects involving
lots of movement, such as sports events.
This function should be used to initialize new memory cards before you use them or when
you want to erase all the data (including images) on a card.
• To ensure that you get the best possible performance from this camera, cards should be
formatted in the camera.
• Note that initializing a card also erases protected images.
• To format a memory card, the card must be inserted in the camera and must not be write
protected.
