| Autofocus | |
| Type | TTL-SIR (Secondary Image Registration) CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. |
| Focusing Point Selection | The focusing point can be selected by camera (automatic) or by user (Manual). |
| Focus Modes | Autofocus: One of the following two AF modes is set automatically depending on the picture-taking mode. The shutter does not release until focus is achieved.
One-Shot AF: Autofocus locks when focusing is achieved.
AI Servo AF: For automatic switching between One-Shot AF for stationary subjects and predictive AF for moving subjects.
Manual Focus: Setting the lens' focus mode switch to MF enables manual focusing with the focusing ring. |
| Focus Operation | Autofocus is activated by pressing the shutter button halfway. |
