AF is more precise and reliable in
dark scenes.

AF tracking sensitivity

The sensitivity with which autofo­cus will follow subjects that move
outside the focus area can be ad­justed in 5 steps when shooting
stills. Higher sensitivity is best for
subjects at varying distances, while
lower sensitivities can keep focus on
a subject that is briefly obscured by
other objects.

The Switch Vertical and Horizontal
