a. One-Shot AF: Autfocus locks when focusing is achieved.
b. Predictive AI Servo AF: Continuously tracks subject movement and achieves focus before the exposure starts.
C. Al Focus AF for automatic switching between One-Shot AF and preditive AF for moving subjects.
2. Manual Focus: Setting the lens' focus mode switch to MF enables manual focusing with the focusing ring. |
