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-area
mode selected in Step 3 (dynamic-area AF (S)). Because we selected
[Auto] for Custom Setting a7 [Focus point persistence] in Step1, the
camera will focus on the subject in the current focus point using dy-
namic-area AF (S).
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 dierent focus point.
