One-Shot AF for Still Subjects This AF operation is suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once. Viewfinder shooting • Once a subject is in focus, the focusing AF point (1) flashes in red, the focus indicator (2) < > in the viewfinder lights up, and the camera beeps. The focus indicator < > blinks if the camera cannot focus. Live View shooting • Once a subject is in focus, the focusing AF point turns green and the camera beeps. If focus is not achieved, the AF point will turn orange. Note If [ : Beep] is set to [Disable], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved. The focus remains locked while you hold down the shutter button halfway, allowing you to recompose the image before taking the picture. This is called "focus lock." See Lens electronic MF when using a lens that supports electronic manual focusing. 320
