About Depth of Field and Focus Tracking

This camera is equipped with autofocus where focusing is automatically

.

When focusing, depth of field should be considered. Depth of field is the zone

LENSINC

 

excuted by the camera. Basics of the relationship between focus and

 

depth of field and Focus Tracking are explained in this section.

 

•Depth of field

.

of sharpest focus in front of and behind the subject on which the lens is

NET

focused. It varies according to shooting distance, focal length and, above all,

 

 

aperture. Smaller apertures (larger f-numbers) will produce a deeper depth of

 

field where the background and foreground become sharper; larger apertures

 

(smaller f-numbers) will produce a shallower depth of field where the

 

background becomes blurred. Similarly, shorter shooting distance or longer

 

focal length will produce a shallower depth of field, and longer shooting

 

distance or shorter focal length will produce a deeper depth of field. Note that

 

depth of field tends to be shallower in front of and deeper behind the subject in

 

focus.

 

•Focus Tracking

 

When the focus mode selector is set to Single Servo AF (S) or Continuous Servo

 

AF (C) and the shutter release button is lightly pressed or AF Start button is kept

 

pressed, the camera automatically switches to Focus Tracking when a moving

 

subject is detected. Focus Tracking enables the camera to analyze the speed of

 

the moving subject according to the focus data detected, and to obtain correct

 

focus by anticipating the subject’s position—and driving the lens to that

 

position—at the exact moment of exposure.

 

In Single Servo AF, Focus Tracking is activated with a subject that has been

 

moving in advance to the focus detection, and focus is locked when the subject

 

stops moving and / appears in the viewfinder. In Continuous Servo AF, camera

 

continues to track subject (even with a subject which started moving in the

 

middle of the focus detection) and focus is not locked.
