The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A25), try pressing

the shutter-release button halfway several times, or try the techniques
described in “Shooting Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (

A60).

Focus Area

In G (easy auto) mode or A (auto) mode, the camera performs the focus
operations described below when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
When a face is detected, it is framed by the

double border indicating the active focus
area. When the subject is in focus, the
double border turns green.

When no face is detected, the camera

automatically selects one (or more) of the 9
focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the
focus areas that are in focus glow green (up
to nine areas). If a shooting mode icon other
than G or i is displayed in G (easy auto)
mode, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame (

A6).

Tap the monitor to select the focus area. See “q/s/r Touch shooting”

(

A53) for more information.
