Focusing with AF
Selecting the AF Method
You can select an AF method to suit the shooting conditions and your
subject. As the AF method, you can select [u (face)+Tracking] (= 198),
[Spot AF], [1-point AF], or [Zone AF] (= 200).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens's focus mode switch to
<MF>, magnify the image, and focus manually (= 212).
The descriptions on = 198–= 200 assume that [AF operation] is set to
z
[One-shot AF] (= 196). With [Servo AF] (= 196) set, the AF point will
turn blue when focus is achieved.
In the <8: C5> modes, Servo AF is set automatically, and when focus is
z
achieved, the AF point will turn blue and the beeper will sound.
Only [u+Tracking] and [1-point AF] are available when 4K movie recording
z
is set.
Regarding the Touch Shutter (AF and shutter release by touch operation), see
