AF-Area Mode (Live View)
In live view, the focus area for autofocus is shown in the monitor. Using the multi
selector to reposition focus area shifts focus to another part of the frame. What
controls how the focus point is selected is AF-area mode. AF-area mode selection
is also available when the camera is used to record movies.
Face-priority
AF
Use for portraits. The camera automatically detects and focuses on
portrait subjects; the selected subject is
indicated by a double yellow border
Wide-area AF
Use for hand-held shots of landscapes and other
non-portrait subjects.
Normal-area AF
Use for pin-point
focus on a selected spot in the frame. A tripod is recommended.
Subject-tracking
AF
Use the multi selector to position the focus point over your subject
and press to start tracking. The focus point will track the selected subject as it moves
through the frame.
To end tracking, press again.
