f: Selecting the AF ModeN
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. You 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.96).
If the [1Beep] menu is set to [Off], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the subject will be focused continuously.
The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
In the d/s/f/a/Fshooting modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved. Also, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light.
