SINGLE SHOT FOCUS
At Single Shot setting (AF S), the shutter
release will be blocked until the camera nds
the optimum focus setting. This ensures
that no captures are made that are not nely
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.
