Changing the Focus Setting
Still Images Movies
You can change default camera operation of constantly focusing on
subjects it is aimed at, even when the shutter button is not pressed.
Instead, you can limit camera focusing to the moment you press the
shutter button halfway.
● Press the [ ] button, choose
[Continuous AF] on the [ ] tab, and then
choose [Off] (= 30).
On
Helps avoid missing sudden photo opportunities, because
the camera constantly focuses on subjects until you press the
shutter button halfway.
Off
Conserves battery power, because the camera does not focus
constantly.
● The camera can detect subjects even if you press the shutter
button halfway without pressing the [
] button. After your shot,
[ ] is displayed in the center of the screen.
● If [Face ID] is set to [On], names will not display when registered
people are detected, but the names will be recorded in the still
images (= 47). However, a name will display if the subject
chosen to focus on is the same as a person detected with Face
ID.
Shooting with Servo AF
Still Images Movies
This mode helps avoid missing shots of subjects in motion, because the
camera continues to focus on the subject and adjust the exposure as long
as you press the shutter button halfway.
1
Configure the setting.
● Press the [ ] button, choose [Servo
AF] on the [ ] tab, and then choose [On]
(= 30).

Focus.
● The focus and exposure are maintained
where the blue AF frame is displayed while
you are pressing the shutter button halfway.
● Focusing may not be possible in some shooting conditions.
● In low-light conditions, Servo AF may not be activated (AF frames
may not turn blue) when you press the shutter button halfway.
In this case, the focus and exposure are set according to the
specified AF frame mode.
● If adequate exposure cannot be obtained, shutter speeds and
aperture values are displayed in orange. Release the shutter
button, and then press it halfway again.
● AF lock shooting is not available.
● [AF-Point Zoom] on the [ ] tab (= 30) is not available.
● Not available when using the self-timer (= 44).
