Continuous<br />
At Continuous setting (AF C), the shutter can be released rapidly<br />
before the lens is focused in order to capture a split-second shot<br />
(in Single Shot, a capture cannot be made until the camera has<br />
had time to focus). However, the camera will continue to focus if<br />
a moving subject is within the focusing zone or if you recompose,<br />
even though the shutter release button is half pressed.<br />
One method to exploit this feature when photographing in a rapidly<br />
changing situation such as photojournalism, for example, is<br />
to keep the shutter release button pressed down. In this way the<br />
lens focuses constantly (according to the focusing zone) and by<br />
momentarily releasing the pressure on the shutter release and then<br />
immediately pressing again, you minimize the amount of time<br />
needed for the lens to check focus, thus ensuring a split-second<br />
shot at optimum focus.<br />
Autofocus mode<br />
Autofocus is set via the control wheels in the following manner:<br />
In camera active mode:<br />
1) Press the AF button on the grip.<br />
2) Turn the front control wheel to: Single Shot or Continuous<br />
as required.<br />
3) Press Save (ISO/WB button) to store the setting.<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> override in autofocus mode<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> override is always possible in automatic focus mode without<br />
any need to make a new setting; just rotate the focusing ring<br />
in the conventional manner. As the lens barrel does not rotate in<br />
autofocus mode, you can hold the focusing ring for instant manual<br />
adjustments as you would with a conventional lens. However, to<br />
retain the new manual focus adjustments, you must maintain the<br />
pressure on the shutter release button. You can instantly return<br />
to the automatic focusing mode by releasing the pressure on the<br />
shutter release button first and then pressing the release button<br />
halfway again.<br />
The instant manual override facility produces a convenient way of<br />
working. You can take advantage of autofocus while retaining an<br />
instantly adjustable manual focus check if preferred for pin-point<br />
accuracy without making any changes in the settings.<br />
Another method for users who prefer more manual focus control<br />
while maintaining the benefits of the accuracy of autofocus is<br />
to set the camera to <strong>Manual</strong> focus and the <strong>User</strong> button to AF<br />
(Single) drive (see ‘<strong>User</strong> button function list’).<br />
Focus is then adjusted manually with the focusing ring as<br />
normal but when the <strong>User</strong> button is pressed, the autofocus<br />
facility temporarily operates in AF S mode. After the new focus<br />
adjustment has been made automatically, the camera reverts<br />
immediately to manual focus control when the <strong>User</strong> button is<br />
released. Therefore, you can recompose the picture without<br />
having to maintain pressure on the release button in order to<br />
retain the newly automatically made focus setting.
