1. Selecting the Five Focusing Points
This camera incorporates a high-precision AF sensor called Multi-BASIS
(Multi Base-Stored Image Sensor), equipped with five focusing points for
wide autofocusing coverage.
You can freely select any of the focusing points to compose the scene as
desired, or you can let the camera select the focusing point for you (auto
matic focusing selection mode).

point lights red in the viewfinder and

Automatic Focusing Point Selection Mode
The camera automatically selects an individual focusing point after evaluating all 5 points simultaneously.
In One-shot AF mode, the system usually gives priority to the closest reliable subject.
In Al Servo AF mode, the system always gives priority to the central (cross-type) focus
ing point for the first exposure. (For more information, refer to page 33.)
