Using Target Finding AF
When AF area mode (
A
58) in
A
(auto) mode is set to Target finding AF , the camera
focuses in the manner described below when you press the shutter-release button halfway.
• The camera detects the main subject and focuses on it.
When the subject is in focus, the focus area glows green. If a
human face is detected, the camera automatically sets
focus priority on it.
• If no main subject is detected, the camera automatically
selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the
subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus,
the focus areas that are in focus glow green.
