Choosing a Focus Area: Manual Focus-Area Selection
In AUTO mode, the camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center focus area, shown by the
focus target in the viewfinder. At SCENE-mode settings of
Portrait
and
Close Up
(

Manual
is selected in the FOCUS OPTIONS >
AF Area Mode
sub-menu for P, A, M, or CSM mode
(

on an off-center subject without using focus lock.
The focus area can be selected using the multi selector.
