(Single-shot AF):

The product locks the focus when the focus adjustment is achieved. Use [Single-shot AF] when the subject is motionless.

If the subject is too close, the image may show any dust or fingerprints on the lens. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth, etc.

Once you change the focus method, the distance of the focus you set up is cleared. When [Focus Mode] is set to [Continuous AF], the beep does not sound when focus is achieved.

[Automatic AF] is available only when you are using a lens that supports focal plane phase detection AF.

When [Focus Area] is [Wide] or [Zone], the focus range finder frame may change after you achieve focus using [Automatic AF] mode.
