10.4. Custom Settings for Autofocus (a1–a8)

For a complete discussion of the autofocus-related Custom settings a1–a8, please see the chapter titled Chapter 4. When considering autofocus issues, it is very important that you read the information in that chapter concerning Custom settings a1 and a2. If you don’t read and understand this section, you may get quite a few out-of-focus images as a result.

Also, please consider using Focus tracking with lock-on when you are using any mode that does focus tracking (9 point, 21 point, 39 point, or 3D-tracking). This will prevent your camera from losing focus on the subject if something comes between the camera and the subject while the subject is moving. Otherwise, the camera may switch the focus to the intruding object and lose the tracked subject. To enable Focus tracking with lock-on, go to Custom Setting Menu > Custom setting a3 Focus tracking with lock-on and choose a tracking delay time out.
