Multipoint AF

Center AF

When you are shooting movies (MPEG movie)
and you choose Multipoint AF, the distance to
the center of the screen is estimated as an
average, so the AF works even with a certain
amount of vibration. The Center AF
automatically focuses only on the center of the
image, so it is convenient when you want to
focus only on what you aim at.

When you use Digital zoom or AF illuminator,
priority AF movement is given to subjects in or
near the center of the frame. In this case, the AF
range finder is not displayed.
