Select this AF mode
:
Hybrid
Continuous
Contrast
To perform this type of Auto Focus:
Combination of phase difference
and contrast focus
*
Normally, you should use this mode.
At normal distance, high-speed
continual focus
Contrast focus to protect against
loss of Auto Focus because the
phase differential sensor is blocked
IMPORTANT!
• Use of Continuous AF performs focus non-stop, so
battery power runs down faster than with Hybrid AF.
• Be sure to use Contrast AF whenever you have a
telephoto conversion, wide angle conversion, or
close-up lens installed (page 135). Note that
Contrast AF is slower to focus than Hybrid AF.
