Instant AF-Area Mode Selection
For flexible AF-area mode selection
when photographing the start of a
race, select 9-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
(
). You can then press a focus function button to select
group-area AF when your subject is diving from the starting
block and release the button once the swimmer is in the wa-
ter to instantly switch to 9-point dynamic-area AF without
taking your eye from the viewfinder. AF-area mode can also
be assigned to the Pv, Fn1, Fn2, or AF-ON button, to the center
of the sub-selector, or to the AF-ON button for vertical shoot-
ing (
