AF.
[0]
Standard setting for gradual AF point switching.
[+2 / +1]
Even if the target subject moves dramatically up, down, left, or right
and moves away from the AF point, the AF point switches to another
one to continue focusing the subject. The camera switches to the AF
point deemed most likely to focus the subject based on the subject’s
continual movement, contrast, etc. Setting +2 makes the camera
more prone to switch the AF point than with +1.
However, with a wide-angle lens having a wide depth of field or if the
subject is too small in the frame, the camera may focus with the
wrong AF point.
