3Selecting an AF Point

The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected
automatically by the camera or manually by you. In the Basic Zone
modes and <Q> mode, the AF point selection is automatic only. In
the <T>, <R>, <E>, and <W> modes, the AF point can be
selected either automatically or manually.
The camera selects the AF point automatically according to situation.
You can select any of the seven AF points manually. This is best when
you want to be sure to focus on a particular subject, or to use quick AF
function to help you compose a particular shot quickly.
