APredictive Focus Tracking

In AF-Cmode or when continuous-servo autofocus is selected in AF-Amode, the camera will initiate predictive focus tracking if the subject moves toward the camera while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. This allows the camera to track focus while attempting to predict where the subject will be when the shutter is released.

DContinuous-Servo Autofocus

When Focus is selected for Custom Setting a1 (AF-C priority selection; 0 248) and the camera is in AF-Cmode or continuous-servo autofocus is selected in AF-Amode, the camera gives higher priority to focus response (has a wider focus range) than in AF-Smode, and the shutter may be released before the in-focus indicator (I) is displayed.
