Notes on continuous AF
Because the camera focuses continuously without pressing the shutter button, note the
following:
i Watch the battery level carefully since the camera consumes more power in this mode than in other
Focus modes (S-AF and MF).
i If the Auto power off function is set to "OFF", particular attention must be given to the battery level.

Available Photography modes:
B, √, À, U, ,, /, N, M, <, >
1 Set the Power switch to "
q
".
2 Set the Mode dial to Photography mode.
1 Unlock the Focus mode selector lock switch.
2 Press the Focus mode selector button to set the
Focus mode to "C-AF".
Lock the Focus mode selector lock switch to
prevent the switch from moving.
Frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF
frame. The camera continues to focus on the main
subject in the AF frame.
Press the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE lock)
without releasing the button, press the button down
fully to take the picture.
This allows you to shorten the focusing time.
