One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
Suited for still subjects. When you
press the shutter button halfway,
the camera will focus only once.
z The dot inside the AF point (1) achieving
focus lights up briefly in red, and
the focus indicator <
o
> (2) in the
viewfinder will also light up.
z With evaluative metering, the exposure
setting will be set at the same time focus
is achieved.
z While you keep holding down the
shutter button halfway, the focus will be
locked. You can then recompose the
shot if desired.
z If focus cannot be achieved, the focus indicator < o > in the viewfinder will
blink. If this occurs, the picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is
pressed completely. Recompose the shot or see “Subjects Difficult to Focus
on” ( = 110) and try to focus again.
z If [ 5 : Beep] is set to [Disable] , the beeper will not sound when focus is
achieved.
z After achieving focus with One-Shot AF, you can lock the focus on a subject
and recompose the shot. This is called “focus lock”. This is useful when you
want to focus on a peripheral subject.
z When a lens equipped with an electronic manual focusing function is used,
see page 107.
