The DSC-R1 provides a full range of focus modes.
- Manual Focus takes advantage of a generously knurled ring on the lens barrel. As you focus, the electronic viewfinder and LCD monitor images automatically expand, for a closer look at the fine image detail you're focusing on!
- Single Shot AF is ideal for subjects that are standing still. The Auto Focus process doesn't begin until you press the shutter release halfway.
- Monitor AF speeds the shot, an important advantage in sports photography. In Monitor AF, the camera is always "pre-focusing" and doesn't lock until you press the shutter release halfway.
- Continuous AF is ideal for unpredictable subjects such as sports, pets and little kids at play. The camera continues to track your subject right up until the moment of exposure.
- One Push AF gives you an automatic assist during manual focusing. The button is easily accessible by your left thumb.
