Active AF

While you are pressing [Shutter] halfway, the camera automatically
detects the subject's movements and switches between Single AF and
Continuous AF. It fixes the focus on the subject when the subject gets far
from the camera (Single AF). It continues to focus automatically when
the subject gets closer to the camera (Continuous AF). This mode is
recommended for shooting subjects that are moving unpredictably.
This option is not available when recording a video.

Manual focus

You can manually focus on a subject by rotating the focus ring on the lens.
The MF Assist function lets you easily bring a subject into focus. While you
are rotating the focus ring, the focus area is magnified. When you use the
Focus Peaking function, the color you selected appears on the focused
subject. This mode is recommended for shooting a subject similar in color
to the background, a night scene, or fireworks.
If you use this function, you cannot set Touch AF, AF Area, and Link AE to AF
Point options.
