6. Focus and Exposure Settings
Subjects in up to 49 AF areas are detected, the focus setting is based on the detected one
nearest to the camera.
This function makes it easy to focus on off-center subjects.
•
The area to be focused can be set. (P146)
From among the 49 AF areas, you can freely set which of them should be used (and which
not) for the subject. (P144)
The camera focuses on the subject in the AF area in the center of the screen.
•
Position and size of the AF area can be changed. (P146)
• When the subject is not in the center of the composition in [Ø], you can bring the subject into
the AF area, fix the focus and exposure by pressing the shutter button halfway, moving the
camera to the composition you want with the shutter button pressed halfway, and then take the
picture. (Only when the Focus Mode is set to [AFS].)
You can achieve a more precise focus on an object that is smaller than with [Ø].

The AF point position can be set on an enlarged screen. (P147)

enlarged.
