Choosing a focus range finder frame — AF rangefinderMultipoint AF ()

The camera calculates the distance in

Þve places to the top, the bottom, the left, the 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 difÞcult to focus on the subject because it is not in the center of the frame. You can check the position where the focus was adjusted using the green frame.

The default setting is Multipoint AF.

Center AF ()

The AF range Þnder is only the center of the frame.

You can shoot in desired image composition using the AF lock method.

Flexible Spot AF ()

This is useful when focusing on an extremely small subject or a narrow area. Flexible Spot AF lets you shoot in the desired image composition. This is useful when you shoot using a tripod and the subject is out of the center area. When shooting a moving subject, take care to hold the camera steady so that the subject does not deviate from the range Þnder frame.
