Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Continuous AF
When shooting a snapshot while “On” is selected for Continuous AF, Auto Focus is
performed and focusing is continually updated until you half-press the shutter button.
When “Q Auto Focus” or “´ Macro” is selected for the “Focus” setting, Continous
AF is performed during HD and STD movie recording, regardless of the current
“Continuous AF” setting.
• Before you half-press the shutter button, the camera focuses at the center of the
screen. If “— Free” is selected for the “AF Area” setting (page 84) when you half-
press the shutter button, focusing is performed for the area specified by “— Free”.
If “Face Detection” is turned on, focusing is performed in the area where a face is
detected.
