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. You can check the position where the focus was adjusted using the green frame.

The Multipoint AF is the factory setting.

Center AF

The AF range finder is only the center of the frame. You can shoot in desired image composition using the AF lock method.
