Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

The following table explains the settings in more detail:

If the new setting is anything other than the default Multi

setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live

View screen.
The Auto Focus setting remains in effect until it is changed

again, or until it resets to the default Multi setting when you

turn the camera off. To save changed settings, use My Mode

(see page 55).

Setting

Description

Multi

When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the

camera searches for focus in each of five zones, starting

from the closest distance. The camera locks on the first

zone(s) that come into focus and surrounds the zone(s)

with brackets. When the camera finds focus, green

brackets frame the zone(s) in focus.
If adjacent zones, or zones separated by a single zone

(as shown on the left below), are in focus, a single set

of green brackets frame the combined zone. If multiple

distant zones are in focus, a second set of brackets will

appear.

Spot

The camera uses a small area in the center of the scene

region to focus. You can use Focus Lock to lock focus,

then reframe (see Using Focus Lock on page 41).
