AF stands for Auto Focus.

Distance setting information in [Focus] is approximate. If you point the lens up or down, the error increases.

The distance selection is limited according to the Scene mode (page 26).

When you are shooting movies, [Multi AF] is recommended as the AF works even with a certain amount of vibration.

When you use [Digital Zoom] or [AF Illuminator], priority AF movement is given to subjects in or near

the center of the frame. In this case the or indicator flashes and the AF range finder frame is not displayed.
