AF MODE SELECTION

Single Servo AF and Continuous Servo AF

The default AF setting is Single Servo AF. In the Single Servo AF mode, once the subject is in focus , you can lock focus by keeping the shutter release button lightly pressed, but be sure to maintain the same subject-to-camera distance. In the Continuous Servo AF mode, autofocus is maintained as long as you continuously lightly press the shutter release button, even if the focus distance changes because either you or your subject moves . In either AF mode, the shutter cannot be released when the subject is out of focus.
