If you have assigned [AF‑area mode] or [AF‑area mode+ AF ‑ON] to a
control using Custom Setting f2 [Custom controls (shooting)], you can
hold the control to switch temporarily from the current AF-area mode
to a second, pre-selected mode. Selecting [Auto] for Custom Setting a7
[Focus point persistence] lets you do so without changing focus points.
■ Using Focus-Point Persistence: An Example
In this example, we will assign [AF‑area mode] to the Fn1 button and hold it to switch temporarily
from the current AF-area mode (auto-area AF in this case) to a second, pre-selected mode (here dy-
namic-area AF (S)).

Select [Auto] for Custom Setting a7 [Focus point persistence].

For this example we will choose [Auto‑area AF] and a focus mode of
AF‑C.

Assign [AF-area mode] or [AF-area mode+ AF-ON] to a control.
Select Custom Setting f2 [Custom controls (shooting)] and choose
the desired control and role (in this case, the Fn1 button and [AF‑area
mode]). To choose the AF-area mode activated while the button is
pressed, highlight [AF‑area mode] and press

. This example as-
sumes that [Dynamic‑area AF (S)] is selected.
