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.

Hint

When [

Focus Area] is set to [Spot] or [Expand Spot], you can move the focusing frame over a greater distance at a time with

the multi-selector by setting [

AF Frame Move Amt] to [Large].

You can move the focusing frame quickly by touching and dragging it on the monitor. Set [Touch Operation] to [On], and set
[Touch Func. in Shooting] to [Touch Focus] beforehand.

To track the subject temporarily (Tracking On)

You can temporarily change the setting for [

Focus Area] to [Tracking] while you press and hold down the custom key

to which you have assigned [Tracking On] in advance. The [

Focus Area] setting before you activated [Tracking On]

will switch to the equivalent [Tracking] setting.
For example:

Phase detection AF

When there are phase detection AF points within the auto focus area, the product uses the combined autofocus of the
phase detection AF and contrast AF.

Note

Phase detection AF is available only when a compatible lens is attached. If you use a lens that does not support phase detection
AF, you cannot use the following functions.

[Automatic AF]
[AF Tracking Sensitivity]
[AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity]
[AF Transition Speed]

Also, even if you use a previously purchased applicable lens, the phase detection AF might not function unless you update the
lens.
