With a focus area smaller than that employed for
single-point AF, pinpoint AF is used for pinpoint
focus on a selected spot in the frame.

Focusing may be slower than with single-point
AF.

Recommended for shots involving static
subjects, such as buildings, in-studio product
photography, or close-ups.
•
This option is only available when photo mode is
selected and [Single AF] is chosen for [Focus
mode].
