Once a spot focus area is selected, it will remain active even after the picture has been taken. Only when one focus area is displayed, can the controller be used to zoom (p. 22) or adjust the exposure (p. 52).

To select another focus area, press the center of the controller; all five areas should be displayed. The controller can now be used to change the spot focus area. Focus area selection will remain in effect when the LCD monitor is turned off.
