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.

Press the [ ] button, choose [ONE 

SHOT] in the menu, and then choose 

[SERVO] (= 30).

The focus and exposure are maintained 

where the blue AF frame is displayed 

while you are pressing the shutter button 

halfway.

 

●

Focusing may not be possible in some shooting conditions.

 

●

In low-light conditions, Servo AF may not be activated (AF frames 
may not turn blue) when you press the shutter button halfway. 
In this case, the focus and exposure are set according to the 
specified AF method.

 

●

Continuous shooting (= 44) is slower in Servo AF mode.

 

●

If optimum exposure cannot be obtained, the shutter speed and 
aperture value are displayed in orange. Release the shutter 
button, and then press it halfway again.

●

To have the camera keep adjusting the focus during continuous 
shooting (= 44), specify Servo AF with [AF method] set to 
[1-point AF].

 

●

You can also configure this setting by accessing MENU 
(= 30) ► [

3] tab ► [AF operation].

 

●

Detects people’s faces, and then sets the focus, exposure (evaluative 

metering only), and white balance ([ ] only).

 

●

After you aim the camera at the subject, a white frame is displayed 

around the person’s face determined by the camera to be the main 

subject, and up to two gray frames are displayed around other 

detected faces.

 

●

When the camera detects movement, frames will follow moving 

subjects, within a certain range.

 

●

After you press the shutter button halfway, up to nine green frames are 

displayed around faces in focus.

 

●

When no faces are detected, or when only gray frames are 
displayed (without a white frame), pressing the shutter button 
halfway will display green frames in the areas in focus. Note that 
the maximum number of frames depends on the aspect ratio 
(= 49) setting.

 

●

If no faces are detected in Servo AF (= 91) mode, the AF 
frame is displayed in the center of the screen when you press the 
shutter button halfway.

 

●

Examples of faces that cannot be detected:

 -

Subjects that are distant or extremely close

 -

Subjects that are dark or light

 -

Faces in profile, at an angle, or partly hidden

 

●

The camera may misinterpret non-human subjects as faces.

 

●

No AF frames are displayed if the camera cannot focus when you 
press the shutter button halfway.
