Selecting the Automatic Focus Mode

Mode Lock ON/OFF

This function allows you to set the auto focus format to either [CONTINUOUS] (the automatic focus mechanism operates continuously when the camera is turned on), or [SINGLE] (the auto focus mechanism operates only when the shutter release button is depressed halfway). The relationship between the two modes, power consumption, and the lag time between shutter press and actual image recording is as noted below. Select the mode most appropriate to your needs and style of photography.

[CONTINUOUS]: So long as the camera is in recording mode, the auto focus mechanism operates continuously to focus the lens. Since the focus motor is operating continuously, less time is needed to begin image recording when the shutter release button is pressed, but power consumption is greater.

[SINGLE] (default): The focus motor only begins operating when the shutter release button is depressed halfway. As a result, somewhat longer time is required to begin image recording after the shutter release button is depressed, but less battery power is consumed.
