To move the focus area
• You can move the focus area in [Flexible Spot], [Expand Flexible Spot], or
[Zone] by operating the multi-selector. If you assign [Focus Standard] to
the center of the multi-selector beforehand, you can move the focusing
frame back to the center of the monitor by pressing the center of the
multi-selector.
• You can move the focusing frame quickly by touching and dragging it
on the monitor. Set [Touch Operation] to [On] beforehand (page 90).
