AF Point

Appropriate for standard shooting conditions, including backlit scenes. The 
camera divides images into several zones for light metering. The camera 
evaluates the complex lighting conditions, such as the position of the subject, 
the brightness, the background, the direct light, and the backlighting, and 
adjusts the settings to the correct exposure for the main subject.
Averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more weight on 
the subject at the center. Use this mode when the subject is backlit or 
surrounded by bright light.
Meters the area within the spot AE point frame at the center of the LCD 
monitor.
Meters the spot AF point corresponding to the selected AF frame.
