Focusing varies depending on the setting of [AFS/AFF/AFC] (→148) in the [Rec] menu

If the focus mode is [MF], the focus can be set manually. (→167)

[AFC]

[ON]

Allow the focus to be constantly adjusted

automatically while recording motion pictures.

(→148)

[OFF]

Fix focus position at the start of motion picture

recording.

• When [AFS/AFF/AFC] is set to [AFS], [AFF], or [AFC], the camera will refocus if the

shutter button is pressed halfway while recording motion pictures.

• When Auto Focus is activated while you are recording motion pictures, the focusing

operation sound may be recorded under some conditions. If you want to suppress this

sound, we recommend taking pictures after setting [Continuous AF] to [OFF] in the

[Motion Picture] menu.

• When using zoom while recording motion pictures, it may take some time to focus.

• [Continuous AF] does not work while [Pull Focus] in [Snap Movie] is in operation.
