MEMO
• When the focus mode switch is set to (single), the focus is
locked for the first frame and used for subsequent consecutive frames.
• When the focus mode switch is set to (continuous), the camera
tries to focus on the subject each time the shutter is released; however,
the focus may be incomplete for consecutive frames.
• The shutter cannot be released while the built-in flash is being charged.
To enable shutter release before the built-in flash is ready, use custom
function number [CF7]. See pages 134 and 138.
