Focus and take the picture.

Zone AF or Large Zone AF (vertical or horizontal) is set to Servo AF, but tracking
may not be possible under some shooting conditions, such as when subjects are

Tapping the screen to focus will focus with [
One-Shot AF ], regardless of the AF
operation setting.

With [ : Orientation linked AF point ], you can set separate AF points for
vertical and horizontal shooting ( ).
