One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

In-focus indicator

Focusing point

Pressing the shutter button halfway activates AF operation and achieves focus once.

The focusing point which achieves focus flashes briefly and the in-focus indicator (●) in the viewfinder lights at the same time.

•With evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway. You can then recompose the shot

while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus. (→p.45)

• When the < > switch is set to < >, the beeper will sound when focus is achieved.

•If focus cannot be achieved, the in-focus indicator (●) in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Reframe the shot and focus again. Also see “When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)” on page 47.
