Focus Area

your desired composition. They reliably provide sharp focus without
use of focus lock (page 44).

the lock, then select desired focus area with the focus
area selector.

up/down/right/left to change the focus area toward the corresponding
direction. Selected focus area is indicated (momentarily in red when the
subject is dark, page 4) in the viewfinder. Selected focus area is also indicated
