Focus area selection

Individual focus areas can be selected in the auto recording and multi-function recording modes. In the multi-function recording mode, focus area selection can also be used with Subject Tracking AF, see page 66.

Press and hold the central button of the controller until the Area-AF frame lines change to the spot-focus-area display. Press and hold the controller again to return to the Area-AF frame lines.

Use the four-way key of the controller to highlight the desired autofocus area; the active area is blue.

Press the shutter-release button partway down

(1) or press the central button of the controller

(2) to select the area; the other four areas will disappear. Focus and exposure are locked when the shutter-release button is pressed partway

down. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.

Once a focus area is selected, it will remain active even after

the picture has been taken. Only when a focus area has been selected, can the controller be used for other camera operations.
