Focusing Point Selection
M'S’ ■ — r ~ 7 ~ZZ 'Z. -
The focusing points are the little boxes which focus the subject. The
focusing point can be selected automatically by the camera or manually
by you.
In the Full Auto, A-DEP, and all Programmed Image Control modes, the
focusing point can only be selected automatically. In the P, Tv, Av, and M
modes, the focusing point can be selected either automatically or
manually.
Automatic selection: The camera selects the focusing point
automatically depending on the scene. Ideal for
snapshots.
Manual selection: You can select any focusing point to focus the
subject. This ensures that the camera focuses the
subject you want. It is also effective for focusing
off-center subjects quickly.
Selecting the focusing
point automatically or
manually
Set the Command Dial to the P,
Tv, Av, or M mode.
Press the focusing point selector.
• The focusing point indicator for the current
focusing point is displayed.

displayed for 6 seconds after the focusing
point selector is released.
