Hybrid

Continuous

Contrast

To perform this type of Auto Focus:

Combination of phase difference

and contrast focus

Normally, you should use this mode.

At normal distance, high-speed

continual focus

Contrast focus to protect against

loss of Auto Focus because the

phase differential sensor is blocked

IMPORTANT!

• Use of Continuous AF performs focus non-stop, so

battery power runs down faster than with Hybrid AF.

• Be sure to use Contrast AF whenever you have a

telephoto conversion, wide angle conversion, or

close-up lens installed (page 135). Note that

Contrast AF is slower to focus than Hybrid AF.
