AF (single AF) shooting:
Focusing is performed one time when the shutter button is pressed halfway. If focusing
fails, remove your finger from the shutter button and press it halfway again. This mode
is suitable for taking pictures of non-moving subjects or subjects with limited
movement.
C-AF (continuous AF) shooting:
The camera repeats focusing. Even if the subject moves or you change the
composition of the picture, the camera continues trying to focus.
Manual focus (MF):
This function allows you to manually focus on any subject while looking through the
viewfinder.
