Area AF Ellipse and Focusing Points
The Area AF ellipse is the area where the camera can focus the subject. The Area AF ellipse has 45 focusing points, making autofocus possible over a wide area in the viewfinder. You can concentrate on composing the picture without worrying about whether a focusing point is covering the subject. As long as the subject is within the Area AF ellipse, the camera will focus the subject automatically.
