• 3D-tracking: Select the focus point. In AF-A and AF-C focus modes,
the camera will track subjects that leave the selected focus
point and select new focus points as required. Use to quickly
compose pictures with subjects that are moving erratically
from side to side (e.g., tennis players). If the subject leaves
viewfinder, remove your finger from the shutter-release button
and recompose the photograph with the subject in the
selected focus point.
• 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 single-servo AF (AF-S or single-
servo AF selected in AF-A), the camera will give priority to
portrait subjects.
• Auto-area AF: The camera automatically
detects the subject and selects the
focus point (in the case of portrait
subjects, the camera is able to
distinguish the subject from the
background for improved subject
detection). The active focus points are
highlighted briefly after the camera focuses; in AF-C and AF-A
modes, the main focus point remains highlighted after the
other focus points have turned off.
