Suitable for objects with little or no movement. Focusing is done
only once and the setting remains as long as the shutter button is
held at the pressure point. That also applies if the AF metering field
is pointed at another object.
AFc (continuous)
Suitable for objects in motion. As long as the shutter button is held
at the 1st pressure point, focusing is continuously adjusted to the
object in the AF metering field.
