Selecting 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 < > mode, the AF point selection is automatic only. In the < >,

<>, < >, and < > modes, the AF point can be selected either automatically or manually.
