FOCUS - Predictive Focus Control

Predictive Focus Control determines the subject’s speed, position, and acceleration changes from the focus sensor data, then sets the best focus at the predicted point of exposure.

Predictive focus control is always active in the Automatic and Continuous autofocus modes.

With the ability to track acceleration in all three dimensions, Predictive Focus Control makes it possible for the camera to calculate where your subject will be when the shutter opens.
