shooting stationary subjects.

pressed and held halfway down. This mode shortens the time 
needed for focusing.

• Battery consumption may be faster than in [Single] mode.

Continuous (C AF)

Adjusts the focus before you press and hold the shutter button 
halfway down, and then continues to adjust the focus even
