Setting the AF and

Drive Modes

The viewfinder has nine AF points. By manually selecting a suitable AF point, you can shoot with autofocus while composing the shot as desired.

You can also select the AF mode and drive mode best matching the shooting conditions and subject.

The Micon on the upper right of the page title indicates that the function can be used only in Creative Zone modes (d/ s/ f/ a/ F).

In Basic Zone modes, the AF mode, AF point, and drive mode are set automatically.

<AF> stands for auto focus. <MF> stands for manual focus.
