This mode allows you to compose a picture more easily by always focusing on the subject.

When the AF mode is set to

1-area-focusing, 1-area-focusing (high speed) or spot-focusing, the time required for focusing when pressing the shutter button halfway will be reduced.

When it is set to [ON], the [ ] indication appears.

The battery may be consumed faster than usual.

It may take time to focus on the subject after rotating the zoom lever from Wide to Tele or suddenly changing the subject from a distant one to a nearby one.

Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject.

When taking a picture with prefocus, set the button for starting AF (Auto focus) to [FOCUS] on [AF TRIGGER].
