One-Shot AF for Still Subjects

Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once.

When focus is achieved, the AF point will turn green and the beeper will sound.

With evaluative metering (p.151), 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.

If [53: Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.

Servo AF for Moving Subjects

This AF operation is suited for focusing moving subjects. When you first press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus and the AF point will be fixed. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the camera will keep focusing the subject.

The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

During continuous shooting, the AF operation for shots after the first one is as follows.

When an EF-M lens is attached: the camera will continuously focus the subject.

When an EF or EF-S lens is attached: Focus lock will be used. When an EF or EF-S lens is attached, setting the [AF method] to [FlexiZone - Single] is recommended.

Depending on the shooting conditions, it may take a moment until the shutter is released.
