Setting Description

Multi When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera searches for focus in each of five zones, starting from the closest distance. The camera locks on the first zone(s) that come into focus and surrounds the zone(s) with brackets. When the camera finds focus, green brackets frame the zone(s) in focus.

If adjacent zones, or zones separated by a single zone (as shown on the left below), are in focus, a single set of green brackets frame the combined zone. If multiple distant zones are in focus, a second set of brackets will appear.
