| Option | Description | Custom Menu |
|---|---|---|
| AF Mode | Choose the AF mode for still image shooting. | A1 |

focus point when the camera cannot focus on the subject or the contrast is not clear. • The selected option takes effect when [C-AF], [C-AF+TR], [C-AF], or [C-AF+TR] is chosen for [AF Mode] (P. 64). • This item is for still photography. [mode1]: AF Scanner is not activated. [mode2]: An AF scan is performed only once at the start of the focus operation. [mode3]: AF Scanner is activated. | A1 |
| C-AF Sensitivity | Choose how rapidly the camera responds to changes in the distance to the subject while focusing with [C-AF], [C-AF], [C-AF+TR], or [C-AF+TR] selected for [K AF Mode]. This can help autofocus track a quickly-moving subject or prevent the camera refocusing when an object passes between the subject and the camera. | A1 |
| C-AF Center Start | When used in combination with an AF-target mode other than single target, [C-AF], [C-AFb], [C-AF+TR], and [C-AF+TRb] focus on the center of the selected group only during the initial scan. During later scans, the camera will focus using the surrounding targets. Combining this option with an AF-target mode that covers a wide area makes it easier to focus on erratically-moving subjects. | A1 |
| C-AF Center Priority | When focusing using group- or custom-target AF in [C-AF] and [C-AF] modes, the camera always assigns priority to the center target in the selected group for a repeated series of focus operations. Only if the camera is unable to focus using the center focus target will it focus using the surrounding targets in the selected focus group. This helps you track subjects that are moving quickly but relatively predictably. C-AF center priority is recommended in most situations. | A1 |
