Mastering Digital Photography Using Continuous Autofocus

Continuing focus mode is generally used when either the topic or the camera is moving. In this mode the camera steadily adjusts the focus for as long as you half-press the shutter release, so it can track movement.

When you fully press the shutter release the camera will take the image without reference to whether the topic is in focus or not, so you want to take a touch more care with this mode than the single shot option. You may use this mode for static subjects, but it's less helpful than single shot mode because it doesn't have to lock on to the subject to let you to take the image.

This implies that features like focus lock are harder, or perhaps most unlikely, to use successfully. Remember, in single shot mode the camera will not allow you to take a picture until the focus has locked onto the subject, which is mostly indicated by a green focus confirmation circle in the viewfinder display ( and often an audible beep ).


If the focus point strays onto something in front of or behind the topic, the camera will concentrate on that instead of the main subject.

The most effective way to do that is to get out of doors and start clicking away at what you find in your cameras eye viewer.
