shooting (= 42), specify Servo AF with [AF method] set to 
[1-point AF].

You can also configure this setting by accessing MENU (= 29)

Instead, you can limit camera focusing to the moment you press the 

shutter button halfway.

constantly.

camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long 

as you press the shutter button halfway.
