SHOOTING MODES
12.4 Focus Trap
With a Focus Trap, the shutter release is triggered automatically when an object appears in a defined focus plane in the scene.
To use the Focus Trap, the Auto Focus functions have to be inactive. If you are working with an auto focus lens, set the Focus Mode Selector Switch S6 to “M” to activate the manual focusing.
To select the Focus Trap, set the Shooting Mode Selector Switch S1 to “Options / Remote Control“ and press the button B10 to open the menu “Shooting”. Use the Rear Control Wheel W2 to select “Focus Trap”.

The camera remains in the tensioned state until an object appears in the defined focus plane.
As soon as the object is in focus, the shutter is automatically released and the image is captured.
