Selecting an AF Frame

The AF frame indicates the area of the composition on which the camera focuses and can be set manually to the desired area. This is convenient for focusing accurately on an off-center subject to obtain the composition you desire. However, the AF frame is fixed to center-point when an image is shot using the viewfinder with the LCD monitor off or when using the digital zoom, even if you previouslly set the AF frame to the position you desire.
