Adjusting The Focus - Canon EOS C700 Instruction Manual

Adjusting the Focus

Depending on the lens used, the camera offers several ways to focus and incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF
technology for advanced autofocus performance. For a list of compatible lenses and functions that can be used,
refer to the appendix (A 221). You can also adjust the focus remotely using Browser Remote on a connected
network device (A 166, 173).
Manual focus: Turn the focus ring on the lens to adjust the focus. The camera offers several focus assistance
functions (A 90) to help you focus more accurately when using the manual focus.
One-shot AF*: With the lens's focus mode switch set to AF, you will be able to focus manually but still have the
option to press the ONE-SHOT AF button to let the camera focus automatically once on the subject inside the
AF frame.
AF-Boosted MF*: Focus manually most of the way and let the camera finish focusing automatically.
Continuous AF*: The camera continuously focuses on the subject inside the AF frame. You can use the AF lock
function (A 95) to change the composition of the picture while keeping the focus on the selected spot.
Face AF*: The camera automatically detects a person's face, focuses on it and can track it if that person moves.
Tracking*: After you select a subject, the camera keeps focusing it and tracks the subject if it moves.
* Z only. Not available when a manual focus lens is attached to the camera.
