Focus
This section describes the options that control how your
camera focuses: focus mode, focus-area selection, and
AF-area mode.
Focus mode
Use the focus-mode selector to select the focus mode.
S (Single-servo AF)
Camera focuses when shutter button is pressed halfway.
Focus locks when in-focus indicator (l) appears in view
finder, and remains locked while shutter button is pressed
halfway (focus lock). At default settings, shutter can only
be released when in-focus indicator is displayed (focus
priority).

C (Continuous-servo AF)
Camera focuses continuously while shutter button is
pressed halfway. If subject moves, focus will be adjusted
to compensate (predictive focus tracking ➝p.55). At
default settings, photographs can be taken whether or not
camera is in focus (release priority).
M (Manual)
Camera does not focus automatically; focus must be
adjusted manually using the lens focusing ring. If
maximum aperture of lens is f/5.6 or faster, viewfinder
focus indicator can be used to confirm focus (electronic
range finding), but photographs can be taken at any time,
whether or not camera is in focus.
MEMO
Manual focus is recommended when the camera is
unable to focus using autofocus.
