Menu item details
Wide:
Focuses automatically on a subject in all ranges of the image.
When you press the shutter button halfway down in still image shooting mode, a green frame
is displayed around the area that is in focus.
Center:
Focuses automatically on a subject in the center of the image. When used together with the
AF lock function, you can compose the image you want.
Flexible Spot:
Allows you to move the AF range frame to the desired point on the screen and focus on an
extremely small subject in a narrow area.
Expand Flexible Spot:
If the product fails to focus on the single selected point, it uses the focus points around the
flexible spot as the second priority area to achieve focus.
Lock-on AF:
When the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down, the product tracks the subject
within the selected autofocus area. Point the cursor to [Lock-on AF] on the [Focus Area]
setting screen, then select the desired tracking start area using the left/right sides of the
control wheel. You can move the tracking start area to a desired point by designating the
area to be the flexible spot or expand flexible spot.
Note
When the mode dial is set to
(Movie) or when shooting movies, you cannot select
[Lock-on AF] for [Focus Area].
You can select [Lock-on AF] only when the focus mode is set to [Continuous AF].
A dotted square may appear around the whole screen in the clear image zoom, digital
zoom, or smart zoom range in order to focus using the entire frame.
