Reference Manual

Option Description
d
[Dynamic-area AF (S)] The camera focuses on a point select
ed by the user. If the
subject briefly leaves the selected point, the camera will focus
based on information from surrounding focus points.
This option is only available when photo mode is selected and
[Continuous AF] is chosen for focus mode.
Use for photographs of athletes and other active subjects that
are hard to frame using single-point AF.
The size of the area used for focus can be selected from S
(small), M (medium), and L (large). S is the smallest and L the
largest.
[Dynamic-area AF (S)]: Choose when there is time to compose
the photograph or when photographing subjects that are
moving predictably (e.g., runners or race cars on a track).
[Dynamic-area AF (M)]: Choose when photographing subjects
that are moving unpredictably (e.g., players at a football game).
[Dynamic-area AF (L)]: Choose when photographing subjects
that are moving quickly and cannot be easily framed in the
selected focus point (e.g., birds).
e
[Dynamic-area AF (M)]
f
[Dynamic-area AF (L)]
f
[Wide-area AF (S)] As for single-point AF except that the camera focuses on a
wider area.
Choose for snapshots, subjects that are in motion, and other
subjects that are difficult to photograph using single-point AF.
During video recording, wide-area AF can be used for smooth
focus when making panning or tilting shots or filming moving
subjects.
If the selected focus point contains subjects at different
distances from the camera, the camera will assign priority to
the closest subject.
The focus points for [Wide-area AF (L)] are larger than those
for [Wide-area AF (S)].
