Selecting AF Servo

Choose from two AF Servo modes—Single Servo AF (Focus-Priority) or Continuous Servo AF (Release-Priority).

Set focus mode selector to S (Single Servo AF with

Focus-Priority) or C (Continuous Servo AF with

Release-Priority).

• Your selected focus mode, “AF-S” for Single Servo AF or “AF-C” for Continuous Servo AF, is displayed in the rear LCD panel (in normal and detailed displays).

The shutter can only be released when the in-focus indicator / appears in the viewfinder (Focus-Priority). Once focused on a subject, keeping the shutter release button lightly pressed locks the focus (Focus Lock). When tracking a moving subject, the camera remains focused on the subject as long as the shutter release button is kept lightly pressed (Focus Tracking,

x 31) and the focus locks when the subject stops moving.

C:Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority (AF-C)

Since the priority is on shutter release, you can release

Normal display

the shutter regardless of the focus status (Release-

 

Priority). Focus is not locked when / appears in the

 

viewfinder and the camera continues to focus on a

 

subject until shutter release. With a moving subject,

 

the camera continuously focuses on a subject as long

 

as you keep the shutter release button lightly pressed

 

(Focus Tracking, x 31).
