Taking Photographs-Focus Autofocus When the focus mode selector is set to S (single-servo autofocus) or C (continuous-servo autofocus), the camera focuses automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. This section describes focus options that are only available in single- and continuous-servo AF. AF-Area Mode AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected in autofocus mode. To select the AF-area mode, rotate the AF-area mode selector. The selected mode is shown by an icon in the top control panel (see following page). a1-AF-C Mode Priority ( 174) In focus mode C (continuous-servo autofocus) photographs can be taken even when the camera is not in focus (release priority).
