Focus Mode
Use the focus mode selector to choose how the camera focuses (note that regardless of the option
selected, manual focus will be used when the lens is in manual focus mode).
• S (single AF): Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for stationary subjects.
• C (continuous AF): Focus is continually adjusted to refl ect changes in the distance to the subject while
the shutter button is pressed halfway. Use for subjects that are in motion. Eye-detection AF is not
available.
• M (manual): Focus manually using the lens focus ring. Rotate the ring left to reduce the focus distance,
right to increase. The manual focus indicator indicates how closely the focus distance matches the
distance to the subject in the focus brackets (the white line indicates the focus distance, the blue
bar the depth of fi eld, or in other words the distance in front of and behind the focus point that ap-
pears to be in focus); you can also check focus visually in the viewfi nder or LCD monitor. Choose for
manual control of focus or in situations in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus (P 61).
