Overview
Focus modes determine how a camera adjusts focus when capturing images. Different modes are optimized for stationary subjects, moving subjects, or manual control.
Common Modes
Single autofocus locks focus once, continuous autofocus tracks motion, and manual focus allows full user control. Some cameras also include hybrid or intelligent tracking modes.
Use Cases
Photographers select focus modes based on subject movement. Sports and wildlife require continuous tracking, while portraits or landscapes often use single autofocus.
Professional Insight
Choosing the correct focus mode improves sharpness, reduces missed shots, and increases shooting efficiency.
