[AF METHOD] Setting AF method

This option sets the speed of AF operation. The SPEED setting gives faster focusing, but the image on the LCD monitor freezes during focusing. With the FRAME setting, focusing is not as fast as the SPEED setting, but you can continue to check the image on the LCD monitor during focusing. Choose the setting that best suits the subject of your shot.

1 Switch the camera on and press O or Q on the mode button until the “G” icon lights on the mode select LED.
