Dynamic-Area AF

Press the AF-mode button and rotate the sub-command dial until dynamic-area AF is selected in the viewfinder and top control panel. The focus point is selected manu- ally prior to shooting, but if the subject briefly leaves the selected focus point, the camera will focus based on data from surrounding focus points (choose from 9, 21, and 51 points as described on page 38).
