SPOT AF AREAS

One of the eleven spot AF areas can be selected. Spot AF areas cannot be used with the digital zoom or movie recording.

Press the central button of the controller and select the spot AF area mode using the control dial as described on the previous page.

When the spot AF area mode is selected, eleven spot AF areas are displayed. The active AF area is blue. Use the controllerís four-way keys (1) to select a new area.

Pressing the center button of the controller while pressing the shift button resets the AF area to the center.

Press the central button of the controller to select the area; the other ten areas disappear. Only when a focus area has been selected, can the controller be used for other camera operations.

Pressing the shutter-release button partway down also completes the operation; the spot AF area turns red briefly to confirm focus.

Once a focus area is selected, it remains active even after the picture has been taken. Press the center of the controller to select another area.
