a6: AF Activation
Choose [AF‑ON only] to split the functions of the AF‑ON button (or the
control to which [AF‑ON] has been assigned using Custom Setting f2
[Custom controls (shooting)]) and the shutter-release button so that
the former is used for focus while the latter is used only to release the
shutter. Lift your thumb from the AF‑ON button to lock focus and take
more shots at the current focus distance or prevent the camera refocus-
ing when an object passes between you and your subject.
Highlighting [AF‑ON only] and pressing
tography, confirm that [Enable] is selected.
Focusing with Lens Function Buttons
To focus using the L‑Fn or L‑Fn2 buttons found on certain lenses, select [AF‑ON] for Custom Setting f2
[Custom controls (shooting)] > [S Lens Fn button] or [3 Lens Fn2 button]
