i see what the literal difference is. but i'm wondering if there is any difference in the pictures or if its personal preference. like if its a moving target do you really get better pictures out of continuous focus.

I have the same question, im hoping someone who is a pro photographer can shed some light on the two and which is better. Also ive found that if you use burst mode on the camera to take pictures of moving stuff works pretty good.

My guess is that continuous auto focuses continuously. I would think that this makes it easier to take a shot since there is no traditional view finder. Couldn't really find much information on this.

Do other phones have similar options? Either way, you might want to consider requesting to have this thread moved to the General forum. Might have better luck finding someone with some photography knowledge there. X2 forums are kinda quiet.
