Focus Modes in Digital Cameras

March 28, 2019 By Good Glass Leave a Comment

Digital cameras have become advanced to the point of requiring minimal effort from the average user to take great photos. One of the best features of modern digital cameras is the autofocus system, available in both DSLR and Point & Shoot models. When using a DSLR camera, autofocus can be used in either single shot mode for stationary subjects, or continuous mode for moving subjects. Additionally, some DSLR cameras also add modes like focus-priority which locks the shutter until focusing is confirmed, and release-priority which allows the user to press the shutter button at any time.

Key Takeaways:

  • Today’s DSLR cameras generally have two types of autofocus modes, specifically a continuous and a single shot mode.
  • As the name suggests, the single shot more is best for stationary subjects, while the continuous autofocus mode is the best way to tackle moving subjects.
  • Certain cameras have fused the two usual autofocus modes into a single option, combining the single shot and continuous modes.

“But while some serious photographers may consider this as not very useful as it encourages them not to be more creative, many are thankful for it.”
