Phase detection AF

When there are phase detection AF points within the auto focus area,

the product uses the combined autofocus of the phase detection AF and

contrast AF.

Note

• Phase detection AF is available only when an applicable lens is attached. If

you use a lens that does not support phase detection AF, you cannot use

[

AF Tracking Sens.], [ AF Tracking Sens.] or [ AF drive speed]. Also,

even if you use a previously purchased applicable lens, the phase detection

AF might not function unless you update the lens.
