Focusing with AF (AF Method)

278

Focusing on a subject other than a human face
Press <0> or <L> and the AF frame <z> will appear at the
screen’s center. Then use <9> to move the AF frame over the
desired subject. Once the AF frame <z> achieves focus, it will track
the subject even if the subject moves or if you change the
composition.

If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. Adjust the focus manually (p.288) so that the face can be
detected, then perform AF.

An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.

Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.

The <p> may cover only a part of the face.

Use the area frame as a guide, and focus within the area frame.

The size of the AF frame changes depending on the subject.
