Focus
This section describes the options that control how your camera
focuses when photographs are framed in the viewfinder. Focus
can be adjusted automatically (see below) or manually (0 101).
The user can also select the focus point for automatic or manual
focus (0 96) or use focus lock to focus to recompose photographs
after focusing (0 98).
To use autofocus, rotate the focus-mode
selector to AF.
Autofocus Mode
Choose from the following autofocus modes:
Autofocus
Mode Description
AF-S
Single-servo AF: For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
At default settings, shutter can
only be released when in-focus indicator (I) is displayed (focus
priority; 0 282).
AF-C
Continuous-servo AF: For moving subjects. Camera focuses
continuously while shutter-release button is pressed halfway; if
subject moves, camera will engage predictive focus tracking (0 92)
to predict final distance to subject and adjust focus as necessary.
At default settings, shutter can be released whether or not subject
is in focus (release priority; 0 281).
