    • Each time you tap the icon, it will toggle between [Touch off] and [Touch on].

      The camera will focus on the spot you tap, then the picture will be taken.

Caution

  • The camera shoots in single shooting mode regardless of the drive mode setting ([High-speed continuous shooting plus], [High-speed continuous shooting], or [Low-speed continuous shooting]).
  • Tapping the screen focuses with [One-Shot AF], even if [Autofocus: AF operation] is set to [Servo AF].
