This camera has 11 AF targets for focusing on the subject with auto focus. Select the optimal
AF target mode according to your subject and the composition.
There are two AF target modes: All target AF mode, which uses AF at all AF targets, and Single
target AF mode, which uses AF centering around one selected AF target.
B All target AF mode
The camera automatically focuses on the subject in front of the
camera from among the 11 AF targets. This is useful for shooting
moving subjects or relying on the camera for focusing.
M Single target AF mode
(o Small-single target AF mode)
The camera focuses using one selected AF target. This is useful
for accurately focusing on the subject after composing the shot.
With M, you can focus using a range that is somewhat larger
than one AF target, but you can only set the range within the AF
target. When [SMALL] is selected for [AF SENSITIVITY], the
setting display changes to o.

N Dynamic-single target AF mode
If the camera cannot focus on the subject using the selected AF
target, the camera focuses using the adjacent AF target.
