Focusing on a Subject in the Center of the Viewfinder (Center Focusing)
The example below shows a common type of photograph where the wide
AF frame will result in the flowers coming into focus, while the main
subject (the person) at the center becomes blurred. In a situation like
this, the photograph can be taken with the person at the center in focus
by using the center AF frame in the middle oif the viewfinder. This is called
center focusing. This function can also be used in close-up photography
when you wish to focus on a particular part of the subject.
