AF area selection mode[AF point expansion]

For fast moving subjects that are difficult to track with a 

single AF point

This mode is ideal for sports photography

Shooting with AF

[AF  point  expansion]. 
The manually selected AF 
point and surrounding 
points lights up.

[AF point expansion] mode can be used for a wide range of sporting events with erratic movement. [AF point 
expansion (Up, down, left, and right)] was able to accurately track the dribbling soccer player. 

As switching of the AF point takes place centered on the selected AF point with [AF point expansion], this mode 
makes it easy to obtain the desired composition. This high jump athlete was captured with [AF point expansion 
(surrounding)]. 

[Up, down, left, and right] and [surrounding] options can be selected according to the 
difficulty of reading the movement, and the relative importance to the central AF point

Hints and tips

When shooting subjects which might be difficult to determine movement, select [surrounding] mode, 
and when you want to focus on the area covered by the central (manually selected) AF point it's best to 
select the [Up, down, left, and right] mode.

[AF point expansion] is an [AF area selection 
mode] that is best selected when shooting 
sports. Using this setting shifts the focus point 
used from a manually selected AF point, to an 
adjacent  (up,  down,  left,  and  right,  or 

surrounding) AF point, to aid focus tracking. 
When using this setting it is easier to obtain the 
desired composition as the subject is captured 
centering around the manually selected AF 
point.  Based  on  the  subject's  movement 

characteristics, (i.e. likelihood of subject moving 
from the selected AF point) and the size of the 
subject within the frame, select either [AF point 
expansion] or [AF area selection mode]. In 
addition,  when  the  subject  has  a  lot  of 

movement, setting Case 5 or Case 6 from the 
AF Configuration Tool is also recommended.
