AF operation during live view
[IMAGER AF]
When you press the shutter button halfway, AF is performed by the image pickup device.
[AF SENSOR]
When you press the shutter button all the way, the AF is activated and the picture is taken in
the same way as when taking pictures using the viewfinder (AF is not activated on pressing
the shutter button halfway).
[HYBRID AF]
When you press the shutter button halfway, focusing is performed approximately by the
Imager AF and you can check the subject on the LCD monitor. When you press the shutter
button all the way, the AF is activated in the same way as with the
[AF SENSOR]
setting. The
approximate focusing distance is obtained when the shutter button is pressed halfway so the
time it takes to actually take the picture after pressing the shutter button all the way is
shortened. When using S-AF+MF, this is very convenient as you can hold the shutter button
pressed halfway and finely adjust the focus while checking the LCD monitor.
