Notes on AF Area Mode
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame
regardless of the applied AF area mode option.
• In some rare cases of shooting subjects for which autofocus does not perform as expected ( A31),
the subject may not be in focus.
• This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be
Used Simultaneously” ( A63) for more information.
