or subject. In Basic Zone modes, the most suitable AF mode is set
automatically.

halfway, the camera will focus only once.
When focus is achieved, the dot inside the AF point achieving focus

viewfinder will also light.
With evaluative metering (p.102), the exposure setting will be set at
the same time focus is achieved.
