Hasselblad X1D manual Single Shot Focus

Functions

SINGLE SHOT FOCUS

At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter release will be blocked until the camera finds the optimum focus setting. This ensures that no captures are made that are not finely focused. However, this delay is normally only a fraction of a second in good lighting conditions with a clear focusing pattern.

Note!

In this mode the lens will focus at one distance and will remain focused at that distance while pressure remains on the Shutter Release button (A).

In this way, you can focus on a nearby object, temporarily positioned within the focusing zone on the viewing screen and then without releasing pressure on the Shutter Release button (A), recompose knowing that the focus remains on the object chosen even though it is now outside the focusing zone.

Releasing the pressure on the Shutter Release button (A) and pressing again (half-press) would now change the focus setting to the distance of the object within the focusing zone.

See Manual override in autofocus mode for a useful way of working with manual and autofocus settings combined.
