    Solution

      In case of [ (Face)+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], [FlexiZone - Single], focusing will take longer than with [Quick mode].
      Set the [Quick mode] for quickly focuses.



      In case of [Quick mode] , the dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in One-Shot AF operation, using the same AF method as with viewfinder shooting. You can use nine AF points to focus (automatically selected). You can also select one AF point to focus and focus only the area covered by that AF point (manually selected).
      The [Quick mode] setting procedure is as below.

      1. Set the camera’s power switch to <ON>.

      2. Press the <MENU> button to turn on the menu screen.



      3. Press the <Cross key> to select the [ ] tab.



      4. Select the [AF method], then press <SET>.



      5. Select the [Quick mode], then press <SET>.


      REFERENCE
      While the image is displayed on the LCD monitor, pressing the <> button will enable you to set the AF mode etc. on the Quick Control Screen.
      For more information, please refer to the instruction manuals that came with your camera.
      NOTE
      Using [Quick mode], although you can focus the target subject quickly, the Live View image will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.
      CAUTION
      • When [Quick mode] is set, [Continuous AF] cannot be set.
      • The [Quick mode] cannot be set for movie shooting.
