Selecting the Best AF Mode

One-Shot AF

Ideal for still subjects and snapshots. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired.

AI Focus AF

This is for subjects moving unpredictably, such as animals. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus in the same way as One-Shot AF. Then if the subject starts to move, the camera switches to AI Servo AF and focuses continuously.

*AI stands for Artificial Intelligence.

AI Servo AF

Geared for sports photography and other moving subjects. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus and exposure setting will be adjusted continuously.
