When using A(auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A108) is set to Full-time AF, the camera will continually focus until the focus is locked when you press the shutter-release button halfway. A sound will be heard while the camera focuses.

When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is turned on.

CThe Macro Mode Setting

The macro mode setting applied in A(auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A(auto) mode is selected.
