Notes About AF Area Mode
•
When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame
regardless of the applied
AF area mode option.
•
In some rare cases of shooting subjects for which autofocus does not perform as expected
(

•
Some settings cannot be used with other functions (
A
65).
•
When target finding AF is selected and the camera does not focus on the desired subject, set
AF area mode to Center . You can also use focus lock (
