If the subject leaves the selected focus point when dynamic-area AF (I; 0 92) is selected in continuous-servo AF (focus mode C; 0 90), the camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points. Choose the number of focus points from 9, 21, and 51 based on subject movement (note that only active focus point is displayed in the viewfinder; the remaining focus points provide information to assist focus operation).

	Option	Description

	c 9 points	camera will focus based on information from the
U		surrounding eight focus points. Choose when there is
		time to compose the photograph or when
		photographing subjects that are moving predictably
		(e.g., runners or race cars on a track).
