Re: AFS =/= focus mode

AFS = AF single shot. It is a drive mode but is nothing relate to focus. I.e., how many focus point you use.

As per my experience on still shooting (the running LED light hanging over trees should be regarded as still object), use single focus point in its smallest focus box size should be the fastest and most accurate way.

However when it is in the dark, a slightly larger size focus box might be easier for the camera to find and lock on a focus (more options within a larger focus area) at the risk of not focus on exactly the point you wish to focus.

It does not mean single shot. It means that it locks focus once. You can use burst mode with this setting.
