AF area modes
|
1) Single Area AF: Focuses only on subjects in the selected area. Selection can
be made from any one of the eleven AF spot sensors. 2) Dynamic Area AF: Focuses
on subject in the selected area, but follows the subject if it moves from its
original position, shifting instantly and automatically to the focus area into
which the subject has moved. 3) Auto-area AF: measures all 11 focus areas,
automatically determines which of them are on the primary subject, and activates
only those areas. |

Focus lock |
Focus can be locked by pressing shutter-release button halfway (single-servo AF)
or by pressing AE-L/AF-L button |

6, 8, or 10mm diameter circle in center of frame; 3) Spot: Meters 3.5mm diameter
circle (about 2.5 percent of frame) centered on active focus area (on center
focus area when non-CPU lens is used, or if Auto-area AF is selected) |
