Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A 52) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses
continuously until focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Therefore, the
sound of lens drive movement can be heard.
When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on.
C
The Macro Mode Setting
The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
