Focus Window
The focus window makes it possible to select an area of the camera's image that focus should be applied on. This can be useful if
there is a part of the image where focus is more critical, or if a part of the image should be ignored by the autofocus.
If the focus window is set from the Live View page, any change in the camera position will return the autofocus to the entire window.
If the focus window is set from the Preset Positions page, it will be included in the settings for that preset. The focus window can be
redened for the preset, but it cannot be deleted unless the preset is deleted.
