In order to capture the skater on the right hand side 
while shooting with a manually selected AF point 
on the left hand side, this photo was shot by 
switching to a registered AF point on the right. This 
feature is effective for shooting sports where there 
is a lot of left-right, right-left movement.

It is possible to instantly 
switch between two AF 
points

Manually selected
