Wide: Focuses on a subject covering the whole range of the screen
automatically. When you press the shutter button halfway down in the
still image shooting mode, a green frame is displayed around the area
that is in focus.
Zone: Select a zone on the monitor on which to focus, and the product
will automatically select a focus area.

Use together with the focus-lock function to create the composition
you want.
Flexible Spot: Allows you to move the focusing frame to a desired
point on the screen and focus on an extremely small subject in a
narrow area.
Expand Flexible Spot: If the product cannot focus on a single
selected point, it uses focus points around the flexible spot as a
secondary priority area for focusing.
Tracking: When the shutter button is pressed and
held halfway down, the product tracks the subject within the selected
autofocus area. This setting is available only when the [Focus Mode] is
set to [Continuous AF]. Point the cursor at [Tracking] on the [Focus Area]
setting screen, and then adjust the desired area to start tracking using
the left/right sides of the control wheel. You can also move the tracking
start area to the desired point by designating the area as a zone,
flexible spot or expand flexible spot.
