* To take a picture, depress the shutter release button down fully. * When using the SMC Pentax-F Soft 85mm f/2.8 lens, set the aperture between f/2.8 and f/4.5. See page 38. Predictive AF Mode When the focus mode switch is set to [SERVO,] the camera senses subject movement during the autofocus operation. The camera will automatically switch the focus mode to predictive autofocus mode to measure the speed of a fast-moving subject, and predict where it will be at the moment of shutter release, to maintain sharp focus on wherever the subject may move. Shooting in the Single Autofocus Mode (Focus Mode Lever at [SINGLE].) * The shutter cannot be released until the subject comes into focus. * Depress the shutter release button down halfway. While [ 0 ] is on, the-camera-to-subject distance is fixed (focus lock). See "Using the Focus Lock Function." See page 30. * Once [ 0 ] is lit in the viewfinder, the focus is fixed. To focus on an other subject, lift your finger off the shutter release button. Aim the camera again, and then depress the shutter release button to the halfway position. * If the focus mode switch is set at [SINGLE] with the drive mode at the consecutive mode, the camera focuses only the first picture. From the second picture, the pictures are taken consecutively with the focus locked at the first picture. Shooting in the Servo Autofocus Mode (Focus Mode Switch at [SERVO].) w * The shutter can be released whether or not your sub- co ject is in focus. If the shutter release button is held in 5 the halfway position, the camera continuously fo- 0 cuses on anything within the AF frame [ C 3 ]. * The Servo Autofocus mode allows sharp pictures to be taken of moving subjects because of the predic- tive autofocus function. * The focus lock function is not active.
