CONTROLLING THE AUTOFOCUS

TOUCH AF
During video recordings, Touch AF facilitates a more intuitive focus
control, even if the main object moves outside the center of the
frame. See p. 174 for additional information.
▸ Tap the LCD panel in the desired position
• Focusing is done after the touch.

CONTINUOUS FOCUSING

The area in the AF frame will be focused continuously if
and are in use. That occurs automatically, without having to tap
iAF
and hold the shutter button. This type of focusing is significantly
smoother than focusing accessed via the shutter button, as jumps
are avoided. Quick focusing can, however, be forced via the shutter
button or Touch AF.
