Solution
This camera has three types of AF modes that can be selected to accommodate different shooting conditions and subjects. In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF mode is set automatically.
[One-Shot AF] for Still Subjects
Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once.
[AI Servo AF] for Moving Subjects
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the subject will be focused continuously.
- The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
- When the AF point selection is automatic, the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point.
NOTE
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved. Also, the focus confirmation light [
] in the viewfinder will not light.
[AI Focus AF] for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
[AI Focus AF] switches the AF mode from [One-Shot AF] to [AI Servo AF] automatically if the still subject starts moving.
After the subject is focused in the One-Shot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.
NOTE
When focus is achieved in the AI Focus AF mode with the Servo mode active, the beeper will sound softly. However, the focus confirmation light [
] in the viewfinder will not light.
