NOTE

When proper focusing is not possible because the subject is closer than the Auto Focus range, the camera automatically switches to the Macro mode range (page 70).

Auto Pan Focus

When you press the shutter button all the way down in the Auto Focus mode without pausing, the camera immediately records the image using Pan Focus (page 71) without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed. This helps to avoid missing a special moment while you wait for the camera to Auto Focus.
