U SET UP
This option controls whether or not the active focus area
is highlighted in red in the viewfinder.
[AUTO]
Selected focus area is automatically highlighted as
needed to provide contrast with background.
[ON]
Selected focus area is always highlighted, regardless
of brightness of background. Depending on brightness
of background, selected focus area may be difficult to
see.
[OFF]
Selected focus area is not highlighted.
At the default setting of [NO WRAP], the focus-area
display is bounded by the outer focus areas so that, for
example, pressing the multi-selector up when the top
focus area is selected has no effect. Select [WRAP] to
allow focus-area selection to “wrap around” from top to
bottom, bottom to top, right to left, and left to right.
At the default setting of [ON], the built-in AF-assist
illuminator lights to assist the focus operation when the
subject is poorly lit (➝p.64). Select [OFF] to turn the
illuminator off.
SEXPOSURE
This option determines what controls lock exposure.
[R/A:RELEASE/AE-L]
Exposure can be locked by pressing the AE-L/AF-L
button or by pressing the shutter button halfway.
[A:AE-L ONLY]
Exposure can only be locked by pressing the AE-L/AF-
L button.
If [ON] is selected for this option, the camera will automati-
cally adjust ISO sensitivity when necessary to help ensure
optimal exposure.
