Registering the current focus area ( AF Area Regist.)
You can move the focusing frame to a preassigned position temporarily
using a custom key. This function is useful when shooting scenes in which
the subject’s movements are predictable; for example, sports scenes.
With this function, you can switch the focus area quickly according to the
situation.
