•Auto-area AF: The camera automatically detects the subject and

selects the focus point. If a type G or D lens is used, the camera can distinguish human subjects from the background for improved subject detection. The active focus points are highlighted briefly after the camera focuses; in AF-Cmode or when continuous-servo autofocus is selected in AF-Amode, the main focus point remains highlighted after the other focus points have turned off.

To select the AF-area mode, press the AF- mode button and rotate the sub-command dial until the desired setting is displayed in the viewfinder or control panel.
