Shooting With Servo Af - Canon EOS M3 User Manual

Shooting with Servo AF

This mode helps avoid missing shots of subjects in motion, because the
camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long
as you press the shutter button halfway.

Configure the setting.
●
Press the [ ] button, choose [ONE
SHOT], and then choose [SERVO] on the

Focus.
●
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.
A green AF frame will be displayed.

Once the picture composition changes
or the subject moves, the AF frame turns
blue and adjusts the focus. When focus
is achieved, the AF frame will go back to
green.
●
The camera may not be able to shoot a picture while focusing,
even if you press the shutter button all the way down. Continue to
hold down the shutter button while following your subject.
●
If focus is not achieved, the AF frame will turn orange.

●
Once set to [SERVO AF], the camera focuses on the frame in the
center of the screen if it cannot detect a face when the shutter
button is pressed halfway down, even if [ +Tracking] is activated
( = 70).
●
When servo AF is on, the exposure is not locked when you press
the shutter button halfway and is not determined until the moment
you shoot the picture, regardless of your current metering mode
( = 62) settings.
●
If you attach a lens with "STM" in the name, turn on servo AF
for continual shooting ( = 42) with constant focus adjustment.
Using this feature will reduce the continual shooting speed. If you
operate the zoom during continuous shooting, the focus may be
lost.
●
With other lenses, the focus will be locked for the second and
subsequent frames during continuous shooting, resulting in
slower continuous shooting.
●
Depending on the lens used, the distance to the subject and the
subject's speed, the camera may not be able to achieve correct
focus.
● This can also be adjusted by going to the menu ( = 32) and
choosing [AF operation] on the [ 2] tab.
