AUTOFOCUS AREAS AND CONTROL
In still-image recording mode, the controller selects the focus area used and moves the spot-focus
area within the image. The two focus areas, wide focus area and spot focus point, allow flexibility over
a variety of situations.
The wide focus area is an array of local focus areas that work together to control focus. This system
is especially effective with moving subjects or quick shooting during fast-moving events. When the
focus is locked in single AF mode, one of the AF sensors within the wide focus area will briefly indi-
cate the point of focus. The spot focus point gives critical control over focus. It can be used to single
out an individual subject from a group.

Switching between the wide focus area to
the spot focus point is simple. Press and hold
the central button of the controller (1) until the wide-
focus-area frame lines change to the spot-focus-
point cross. Press and hold the controller again to
return to the wide-focus-area frame lines.
