Multipoint AF

When you use Multipoint AF, the camera calculates the distance in three places to the left and right and in the center of the image, letting you shoot using the auto focus function without worrying about the image composition. This is useful when it is difficult to focus on the subject because it is not in the center of the frame.

The Multipoint AF is the factory setting.
