APredictive Focus Tracking

In continuous-servo AF, the camera will initiate predictive focus tracking if

N

the subject moves toward or away from the camera while the shutter-

release button is pressed halfway or the Bbutton is pressed. This

 

allows the camera to track focus while attempting to predict where the

 

subject will be when the shutter is released.
