Menu item details
Focus Priority:
Changes the aperture drive system to prioritize auto-focusing performance.
Standard:
Uses the standard aperture drive system.
Silent Priority:
Changes the aperture drive system to prioritize silence so that the sound from the aperture drive is quieter than in
[Standard].
Note
When [Focus Priority] is selected, sound from the aperture drive may be audible, or the aperture effect may not be visible on the
monitor. Also, the continuous shooting speed may become slower or the screen may flicker. To avoid these phenomena, change
the setting to [Standard].
When [Silent Priority] is selected, the focusing speed may become slower, and it may be more difficult to focus on a subject.
The focus during continuous shooting is locked to the setting in the first shot in the following situations.
When [Aperture Drive in AF] is set to [Standard] or [Silent Priority], and the F-value is greater than F22.
When [Aperture Drive in AF] is set to [Focus Priority], the F-value is greater than F22, and the continuous shooting speed is
[120 images/s] or [60 images/s].
The effect may differ depending on the lens you use and the shooting conditions.
