Shooting – Selecting Particular Effects
Selecting an AF Frame
The AF frame indicates the area of the composition on which the
camera focuses and can be set manually to the desired area. This is
convenient for focusing accurately on an off-center subject to obtain
the composition you desire.
However, the AF frame is fixed to center-point when the digital zoom
is used, even if you previously set the AF frame to the position you
desire.
