subject does not move until the shutter sound is finished playing.
Changing the Focus Setting

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] ( = 25).
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.
