AF point
Focus confirmation light
Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once.
When focus is achieved, the AF point which achieved focus will be displayed, and the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will also light.
With evaluative metering, the exposure setting will be set at the same time focus is achieved. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be locked. ou can then recompose the shot if desired.
In the d/s/f/a/Fshooting modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button.
If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Recompose the picture and try to focus again. Or see “When Autofocus Fails” (p.92).
If the [1Beep] menu is set to [Off], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.
