Assigning functions

By assigning an [AF area selection mode] to a specific button in the [Custom Control] screen, you can continue shooting and switch 
AF areas instantly with the press of single button without having to move your eye from the viewfinder.

For example, this is effective when switch from [Manual selection: 1 point AF] to [Auto 
selection: 61 point AF] when continuously shooting an athlete to track and shoot.

[Switch to registered AF functions]

[Register/apply shooting functions]

There are the five buttons that can be assign to switch AF 
functions. The 

 button and   button can be assigned with 

[Custom Controls] to [Register/apply shooting functions], and the 

 button and   button can be assigned with [Switch to

Assign [Register/apply shooting functions] to the 

 

button or the   button with the custom function’s 
[Custom Controls].  Press the 

 button on the assign 

function’s selection screen, (various functions can be 
set) and select the [AF area selection mode] that you 
want to use.

When switching to [Auto selection: 61 point AF] from another [AF area selection mode], this setting 
activates auto selection AF starting with the AF point selected before switching in [Initial AFpt.

. This is extremely effective for a series of scenes when switching to 

other modes to [Auto selection: 61 point AF] for shooting.

Assign [Switch to registered AF functions] to the 

 

button or   button with [Custom Controls]. Press the 

 button on the assign function’s selection screen, 

and from various AF functions, select the [AF area

AF area selection modes such as [Single-point 
AF] and [AF point expansion] are effective for 
switching according to the size and type of 
subjects. While looking through the viewfinder 
it can be difficult to change the mode while 
tracking the subject. However, by assigning the 
AF area selection modes you want to use, to 
specific buttons, you can switch instantly while 
continuing shooting. There are five buttons that 
can be assigned. Think about the characteristics 

of the sports and subjects you want to shoot 
beforehand, and assign the AF area selection 
modes you think you will use. By assigning 
different modes to each of the five buttons 
therefore 5 modes, you can control up to five 
modes at will. In addition, aside from the AF 
area selection modes, various functions can be 
registered and applied, so by making settings as 
needed, you have the flexibility to handle 
conditions as they change.
