When shooting using
the viewfi nder
The camera focuses once when the shutter button is pressed
halfway. When the focus is locked, a beep sounds, and the AF
confi rmation mark and the AF target mark light up. This mode is
suitable for taking pictures of still subjects or subjects with limited
movement.
The camera repeats focusing while the shutter button remains
pressed halfway. When the subject is in focus, the AF confi rmation
mark lights up on the monitor and the beep sounds when the focus
is locked at the fi rst and second time.
Even if the subject moves or you change the composition of the
picture, the camera continues trying to focus.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, this setting will change to
[S-AF].
This function allows you to
manually focus on any position
by operating the focus ring on
the lens.
After pressing the shutter button halfway to focus in [S-AF] mode,
you can turn the focus ring to fi ne-adjust focus manually.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus; the camera then tracks
and maintains focus on the current subject while the shutter button
is held in this position.
• The AF target is displayed in red if the camera can no longer track
the subject. Release the shutter button and then frame the subject
again and press the shutter button halfway.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, this setting will change to
[S-AF].
