Notes
• The available AF area settings depend on the status of the [AF method] setting
(page 91). When [Contrast AF] is selected, [Spot] and [Flexible Spot] are available.
When [Phase-detect AF] is selected, [Wide], [Spot], and [Local] are available.
• When the exposure mode is set to AUTO or Scene Selection, or the Smile Shutter is
activated, [AF area] is fixed to [Wide] and you cannot select the other settings.
• The AF area may not be illuminated during continuous shooting or when the shutter
button is pressed all the way down without pause.
When it is difficult to get the proper focus in autofocus mode, you can
adjust the focus manually.
Notes
• In the case of a subject that can be focused in autofocus mode, the z indicator lights
up when the focus is confirmed. When the Wide AF area is used, the center area is
used, and when the Local AF area is used, the area that is selected with the controller
is used.
