• In l (Single mode), the focus is locked (focus lock) while ] is lit. To focus
on another subject, take your finger off the shutter release button first.
• During \ (Moving Object) mode or when the focus mode is set to k
(Continuous mode) (p.121), focus is adjusted continuously, tracking the
moving object as long as the shutter release button is kept pressed halfway.
• The shutter cannot be released until the subject is in focus in l (Single
mode) (p.121). If the subject is too close to the camera, move back and take
the picture. Adjust the focus manually if the subject is difficult to focus (p.46).
(p.126)
• In l (Single mode), press the shutter release button halfway. The built-in
flash will discharge automatically several times, enabling the autofocus to
focus on the subject easier if the subject is in a dark area and the built-in flash
is up.
• Regardless if the camera is set to l (Single mode) or k (Continuous
mode), the camera automatically tracks the subject if it is determined to be a
moving object.
