AF Point Selection

The AF point can be selected automatically or manually. In the Basic Zone modes and <> mode, AF point selection will be automatic. In the <>, <>, <>, and <> modes, AF point selection can be set to either automatic or manual.

Automatic selection : The camera selects the AF point automatically according to conditions.

Manual selection : You can select any of the three AF points manually. This is best when you want to be sure to focus on a particular subject, or to use the speed of the AF focusing function to help you compose a particular shot quickly.
