This setting allows you to select between a wide, multi-zone
focus region and a spot focus region. See Focusing on the
Subject on page 37 for examples of Multi and Spot focus.
1. In the Capture Menu (see
page 62), select Auto Focus
Area.
2. Use the buttons to highlight
a setting.
3. Press to save the setting.
If the new setting is anything other than the default, the icon
for the setting appears in the Live View screen.
The Auto Focus setting remains in effect until it is changed
again, or until you turn the camera off. To save changed
settings, use My Mode (see page 56).
NOTE: Auto Focus Area does not apply in Manual Focus.
Setting Description
Multi (Default) Use this setting for general-purpose picture
taking or to focus on a subject not in the center of the
scene. The camera searches for focus in each of five
zones, starting from the closest distance.
Spot Use this setting with Focus lock (see page 40) if the
camera keeps focusing on the wrong subject. The
camera uses a small area in the center of the scene
region to focus.
