AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving.
After the subject is focused in the One-Shot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.
When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will not light.
AF-Assist Beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, when you press the shutter button halfway, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes. It illuminates the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The built-in flash’s AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.1 feet.
In the d/s/f/a/Fshooting modes, press the <I> button to pop- up the built-in flash. Then it will fire the AF-assist beam when necessary.
