• Group-area AF: The camera focuses using a group of focus points
selected by the user, reducing the risk of the camera focusing on
the background instead of on the main subject.
Choose for
subjects that are difficult to photograph using a single focus
point.
If faces are detected in AF-S focus mode, the camera will
give priority to portrait subjects.
• Auto-area AF: The camera automatically
detects the subject and selects the focus
point; if a face is detected, the camera will
give priority to the portrait subject.
The
active focus points are highlighted briefly
after the camera focuses; in AF-C mode, the
main focus point is displayed after the other
focus points have turned off.
AF-area mode can be selected by pressing the AF-mode button
and rotating the sub-command dial until the desired setting is
displayed in the viewfinder and top control panel.
