AF-Area Mode
AF-area mode controls how the camera
selects the focus-point for autofocus.
AF-area mode can be selected using the
AF-area mode items in the i menu and
the photo and movie shooting menus
(0 113, 131, 137).
At default settings, AF-area mode can also be selected by
holding the Fn2 button and rotating the sub-command dial
(0 24).
Option Description
3
Pinpoint AF
Use for pinpoint focus on a selected spot in the
frame. This option is only available when photo
mode is selected and Single AF is chosen for
Focus mode. Focusing may be slower than with
single-point AF.
d
Single-point AF
The camera focuses on a point selected by the
user. Use with stationary subjects.
e
Dynamic-area AF
The camera focuses on a point selected by the
user. If the subject briefly leaves the selected
point, the camera will focus based on information
from surrounding focus points, letting you
concentrate on composition in shots of moving
subjects. This option is only available when photo
mode is selected and Continuous AF is chosen
for Focus mode.
