Description

When the autofocus system is initiated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway or by pressing either of the AF-ON buttons, the camera focuses on the subject in the active focus area. The camera then continuously scans all five focus areas to maintain fo-

Dynamic Area AF cus as the subject moves into other focus areas. This mode is useful when it is difficult to predict where the subject will be at the moment of exposure. Unless the focus area is changed using the multi selector, the focus area originally selected will be used as the focus target the next time you initiate autofocus.

The camera focuses on the subject in the selected

Single Area AF focus area. This mode is effective when focusing on subjects that are relatively motionless.

The current AF-area mode is indicated by the display in the top control panel.

Using the Button to Select the AF-Area Mode

When AF Area is chosen in the Assign FUNC sub-menu, AF-area mode will be

assigned to the

button, allowing you to select the AF-area mode without ac-

cessing the camera menus. Pressing the

button (A), rotate the main command

dial (B) until the desired AF-area mode is showing in the control panel on top of the camera (C).
