autofocus (AF)
Available in cameras equipped with motorized focus, this feature provides automatic adjustment of the focus. AF operates by varying the focus to maximize the high frequency content of the central area of the picture by reference to high luminance and strong contrast elements. In some cameras, AF can be set to High or Low sensitivity modes. AF mode is not recommended for continuous 24-hour operation. See also One-push AF, Interval AF, Zoom triggered AF.
