MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING

FULL-TIME AF

With full-time AF active, the autofocus system continually focuses to keep the monitor image sharp. This also reduces the autofocusing time when taking pictures. Full-time AF can be activated in the Custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50).

When the monitor is turned off when the camera is set to manual focus, full-time AF is disabled. Turning the full-time AF function off can help conserve battery power.

Spot metering uses a small area within the image to calculate the exposure. When this mode is selected, the LCD monitor will automatically activate if off and a small circle will appear in the middle of the live image indicating the measuring area. The spot allows precise exposure measurements of a particular object without being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within the scene. If the LCD monitor is turned off, the metering mode automatically switches to multi-segment, the spot-metering mode will remain active.
