Using AF to Focus (AF Method)

FlexiZone - Single and u(Face Detection) Live Mode Notes

AF Operation

Focusing will take slightly longer.

Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button halfway will focus again.

The image brightness may change during and after the AF operation.

If the light source changes while the Live View image is displayed, the screen may flicker and focusing may be difficult. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and autofocus under the actual light source. If you press the <u> button in the FlexiZone - Single, the image will be magnified at the AF point. If focusing is difficult in the magnified view, return to the normal view and autofocus. Note that the AF speed may differ between the normal and magnified views.

If you magnify the view after focusing with FlexiZone - Single in the normal view, it may not look focused.

In the uLive mode, pressing the <u> button will not magnify the image.

In the FlexiZone - Single or u(face detection) Live mode, if you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly out of focus, aim the center AF point over the subject to focus, then take the picture.

The external Speedlite will not emit the AF-assist beam. However, if an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) equipped with an LED light is used, the LED light will turn on automatically for AF-assist when necessary in the FlexiZone - Single and u(face detection) Live mode.
