11 area mode

Focusing is based on the areas indicated by the 11 AF frames. They are grouped so as to cover a major part of the image, thus ensuring maximum focusing security for snapshot type photography. Sharpness is registered in all 11 areas, but focusing is automatically determined by the closest objects registered.

In addition, you can concentrate focusing to any of the four sides of the image by reducing the number of areas used and selecting respective groups.

Press the DELETE/FOCUS button (1.15) for ≥1 second.

On the screen, all displays are replaced by the 11 AF frames. Initially, only the 9 frames constituting the central group have red outlines. Red triangles on all sides indicate the possible settings.

Besides the central group, you can select groups of either the top or bottom three or the four left or right AF areas. Use the direction buttons to select the desired AF frame group. You can return to the central 9 frame group at any time with the INFO button (1.12). Press either the shutter release button (1.8) or the DELETE/FOCUS button to exit this mode.

Spot mode

Focusing is based on the area indicated by a small AF frame in the center of the screen. The size of this area allows concentrating the metering on even the smallest subject details. For portraits, e.g., it is normally recommended that the eyes are rendered totally sharp.

In addition, you can move the AF-frame to anywhere on the screen, e.g. for easier composition in the case of off-center subjects.

Press the DELETE/FOCUS button (1.15) for ≥1 second.

On the screen, all displays except for the AF frame disappear. Red triangles on all sides of the frame indicate the possible movement directions. To indi- cate the movement limits, the respective triangles disappear near the edges.

Use the direction buttons to move the AF frame to the desired position.

You can return the frame to the central position at any time with the INFO but- ton (1.12). Press either the shutter release button (1.8) or the DELETE/FOCUS button to exit this mode.
