Description

Camera adjusts focus continuously until shutter-release but- ton is pressed halfway, minimizing time needed to focus before photo is taken. Note, however, that photos can be taken even when camera is not in focus; check autofocus lamp before shooting.

Camera focuses when shutter-release button is pressed half- way. If monitor is off, photos can only be taken when cam- era is in focus. Choose this setting to save batteries.
