Turn on the monitor (P. 74).
● If the monitor is not on, Fulltime AF does not function.
FULLTIME AF keeps the image on the monitor in focus at all times, without having to press the shutter button halfway. This function reduces focusing time. When OFF is selected, images cannot be focused unless the shutter button is pressed halfway.
FULLTIME AF — A reliable time-saving way to focus
● If (for movies) is set to OFF, the camera will adjust the focus and exposure as needed during movie recording, regardless of the Fulltime AF setting.
● Battery life is shorter when Fulltime AF is used.
