Instant AF-Area Mode Selection
For flexible AF-area mode selection
when photographing figure skating,
select 25-point dynamic-area AF with
the camera and assign group-area AF
to the focus function buttons using
Custom Setting f1 (Custom control
assignment) > S Lens focus function buttons ( page 26 ).
You can then press a focus function button to select group-
area AF when framing shots of distant subjects with the
camera in wide orientation, and release the button to switch
to 25-point dynamic-area AF when framing shots of nearby
subjects in tall orientation. AF-area mode can also be as-
signed to the Pv, Fn1, Fn2, or AF-ON button, to the center of
the sub-selector, or to the AF-ON button for vertical shooting
(
