Focusing and shooting functions
When you want to be able to shoot even if the subject is not in focus:
j See “RLS PRIORITY S/RLS PRIORITY C” (gP. 94).
To not light up the AF target in the viewfinder when the subject is in focus:
j The AF target in the viewfinder lights red when the subject is in focus. You can set the AF target 
so as not to turn on. 
g“AF AREA POINTER” (P. 90)
C-AF (continuous AF)
The camera repeats focusing while the shutter button remains pressed halfway. When the 
subject is in motion, the camera focuses on the subject in anticipation of its movement 
(Predictive AF). Even if the subject moves or you change the composition of the picture, the 
camera continues trying to focus.
Press the shutter button halfway and keep it in this position.
• When the subject is in focus and locked, the AF confirmation mark lights up.
• The AF target does not light up, even when the subject is in focus.
• The camera repeats focusing. Even if the subject moves or even if you change the 
composition of the picture, focusing is tried continuously.
• A beep sound is output when the subject is in focus. The beep sound is not output after the 
third continuous AF operation, even when the subject is in focus.
The camera focuses on something passing in front of the subject:
j You can set the camera so as not to change the focus even if the distance to the subject 
changes. 
g“C-AF LOCK” (P. 90)
MF (manual focus)
This function allows you to manually focus on any subject while looking through the 
viewfinder.
Adjust the focus using the focus ring.
To change the rotational direction of the focus ring:
j You can select the rotational direction of the focus ring to suit your preference for how the lens 
adjusts to the focusing point. 
g“FOCUS RING” (P. 90)
For information on whether the subject is in focus (Focus aid):
j When you focus the lens on a subject manually (by turning the focus ring), the AF confirmation 
mark lights. When B is set with [AF AREA], AF confirmation lights up if the subject is in focus 
at the center AF target.
