Changing the Focusing Method
When the camera does not focus the desired target subject with automatic AF point selection, switch the AF method to zone selection or [FlexiZone - Single], and refocus.
Depending on the aspect ratio setting, the number of AF points will differ. At [3:2], there will be 31 AF points. At [1:1] and [4:3], there will be 25 AF points. And at [16:9], 21 AF points. Also, at [16:9], there will be only three zones.
For movie shooting, there will be 21 AF points (or 25 AF points if [640x480] is set) and three zones (or 9 zones if [640x480] is set).
FlexiZone - Single: d
Since only one AF point is used to focus, you can focus the target subject.
