Focusing with AF (AF Method)

Take the picture.
Check the focus and exposure, then
press the shutter button completely to
take the picture (p.290).
Focusing on a subject other than a human face
• Tap on the subject (or spot) where you want to focus.
• Press the <
0
> or <
L
> button and the AF point < > will appear
on the screen, and the AF point can be moved with <
9
>.
• Once the AF point < > achieves focus, the AF point will also
move to track the subject if you change the composition or if the
subject moves.
If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be
possible. Adjust the focus manually (p.321) so that the face can be
detected, then perform AF.
An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
The <
p
> may cover only a part of the face, not the whole face.
AF is not possible on a face or subject along the periphery (outside the
Area AF frame). Aim the Area AF frame over the subject for focusing.
The size of the AF point changes depending on the subject.
