Focus Indicator - Sony ILCA-99M2 Instruction Manual

(Continuous AF): The product continues to focus while the
shutter button is pressed and held halfway down. Use this when
the subject is in motion. In [Continuous AF] mode, there is no beep
when the camera focuses.
(DMF): You can make fine adjustments manually after the focus
is locked, letting you focus on a subject more quickly than when
using the manual focus from the beginning. This is convenient in
situations such as macro shooting.
(Manual Focus): Adjusts the focus manually. If you cannot focus
on the intended subject using auto focus, use manual focus.
