One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

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 flash briefly in red, 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. You can then recompose the shot if desired.
