Customizing AF Functions
N
: Separate AF pts: Area+pt
The AF area selection mode and AF point (or zone) can be set
separately for each camera orientation (1. Horizontal, 2. Vertical with
the camera grip at the top, 3. Vertical with the camera grip at the
bottom).
When you manually select the AF area selection mode and AF point (or
zone) for each of the three camera orientations, they will be set for the
respective orientation. Whenever you change the camera orientation
during shooting, the camera will switch to the AF area selection mode
and manually-selected AF point (or zone) set for that orientation.
: Separate AF pts: Pt only
The AF point can be set separately for each camera orientation
(1. Horizontal, 2. Vertical with the camera grip at the top, 3. Vertical
with the camera grip at the bottom). While using the same AF area
selection mode, the AF point will switch automatically for the
respective camera orientation.
When you manually select the AF point for each of the three camera
orientations, it will be recorded for the respective orientation. During
shooting, the manually-selected AF point will switch to match the
respective camera orientation. Even if you change the AF area
selection mode to Manual select.:Spot AF, Manual selection:1 pt AF,
Expand AF area: , or Expand AF area:Surround, the AF point set
for the respective orientation will be retained.
If you change the AF area selection mode to Zone AF (manual
selection of zone), the zone will switch to match the respective
camera orientation.
If you clear the camera settings to their defaults (p.70), the setting will be
[
Same for both vert/horiz ]. Also, your settings for the three camera
orientations (1, 2 and 3) will be cleared and all three will revert to Single-
point AF (Manual selection) with the center AF point selected.
If you set this and later attach a lens from a different AF group (p.100-
104, particularly Group H), the setting may be cleared.
