Description
[AFS]

photograph, etc.)
“AFS” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Single”. Focus
is set automatically when the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
Focus will be fixed while it is pressed halfway.
[AFF]
Movement cannot be
predicted (Children,
pets, etc.)
“AFF” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Flexible”. In this
mode, focusing is performed automatically when the shutter
button is pressed halfway.
If the subject moves while the shutter button is pressed
halfway, the focus is corrected to match the movement
automatically.
[AFC]
Subject is moving
(Sport, trains, etc.)
“AFC” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Continuous”. In
this mode, while the shutter button is pressed halfway,
focusing is constantly performed to match the movement
of the subject. When the subject is moving, the focusing is
performed by predicting the subject position at the time of
recording. (Movement prediction)
