The camera calculates the distance in three
places to the left and right and in the center
of the image, letting you shoot using the
auto focus function without worrying about
the image composition. This is useful when
it is difficult to focus on the subject because
it is not in the center of the frame. You can
check the position where the focus was
adjusted using the green frame.

The AF range finder is only the center of the
frame. You can shoot in desired image
