Using the Target Finding AF

• When the camera detects the main subject, it focuses on that subject. When the subject is in focus,

the focus areas that match up with the size of the subject will light in green (multiple areas may light up). When detecting a human face, the camera focuses on it as a priority.

Focus area

•The camera has 9 focus areas, and if it does not detect the main subject, it automatically selects the

focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus light in green.
