Focus using the default AF‑area mode.
Press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AF‑ON button
to focus using the default AF-area mode. In the case of auto-area
AF, the camera will automatically detect the subject and choose the
focus area.
At the settings selected in this example, focus will track subject mo-
tion while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway or the AF‑ON
button is pressed.

Switch AF‑area modes.
Hold the selected control (the Fn1 button) to switch to the AF-ar-
ea mode selected in Step 3 (9-point dynamic-area AF). Because we
selected [Auto] for Custom Setting a13 [Focus point persistence]
in Step1, the camera will focus on the subject in the current focus
point using 9-point dynamic-area AF.
Had we selected [O], the camera would not have maintained focus
on the subject in the point chosen by auto-area AF but would have
instead switched to a dierent focus point.
