Selecting [ Enable ] lets you use the multi selector to choose the
starting focus point when AF-C and [ Auto-area AF ] are selected
respectively for AF mode and AF-area mode. The camera will
revert to normal auto-area AF once you have focused on the
subject in the selected focus point.
Choose whether the focus point selected by the camera
continues in use after you change AF-area modes using a
control to which [
AF-area mode ] or [ AF-area mode + AF-ON ]
has been assigned via Custom Setting f3 [ Custom controls ].
This only applies if you change AF-area modes while focusing
with the shutter-release button pressed halfway.
•
Focus-point persistence applies if while the control is pressed,
you switch from an AF-area mode such as [
Auto-area AF ] in
which the focus point is chosen automatically to a mode in
which the focus point is selected manually.
