 How to set focus when taking a still picture (AFS/AFC)
AFS
“AFS” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Single”.
Focus is set and locked automatically when the 
shutter button is pressed halfway. Focus will be fixed 
while it is pressed halfway.
AFC
“AFC” is an abbreviation of “Auto Focus Continuous”.
This mode allows you to compose a picture more 
easily by continuously focusing on the movement of 
the subject while the shutter button is pressed 
halfway.
When taking pictures of a moving subject, the camera 
predicts the movement of the subject and continually 
focuses on it. (motion prediction)
It may take time to focus on the subject if you rotate the 
zoom ring from Wide to Tele or suddenly change the 
subject from a distant one to a nearby one.
Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult 
to focus on the subject.
When the brightness is not enough, this will work the 
same as [AFS].
For the [AFC] feature, please see page 
 for a list of 
compatible lenses.
MF
Set the focus manually by rotating the focus ring.
