SPOT AF
The spot AF is used for selective focusing. Both focus and exposure are determined with
the spot focus area. When auto reset (p. 55) is active, the spot AF area will reset to the
wide focus frame when the camera is turned off. The spot focus area can be used with
movie recording. When used with the digital zoom (p. 59), spot focus area is enlarged.
Press and hold the center button of the controller (1) to
display the spot focus area; the center button switches
between the spot and wide AF areas.

Place the subject inside the spot focus area
(2) and pressing the shutter-release button
partway down to lock the focus and the
exposure. Focus lock (p. 30) is active for off-
center compositions. The focus signals (p.
31) will confirm the image is in focus. Press
the shutter release button all the way down to
take the picture (3).
When the LCD monitor is off, the camera
cannot be switched between wide and spot
AF; the last AF mode set will be active. When
the live image only display is used, switching
between the wide and spot AF modes resets
the display mode to full.
