The following table explains the settings in more detail:
If the new setting is anything other than the default Multi
setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live
View screen.
The Auto Focus setting remains in effect until it is changed
again, or until it resets to the default Multi setting when you
turn the camera off. To save changed settings, use My Mode
(see page 55).
Setting Description
Multi When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the
camera searches for focus in each of five zones, starting
from the closest distance. The camera locks on the first
zone(s) that come into focus and surrounds the zone(s)
with brackets. When the camera finds focus, green
brackets frame the zone(s) in focus.
If adjacent zones, or zones separated by a single zone
(as shown on the left below), are in focus, a single set
of green brackets frame the combined zone. If multiple
distant zones are in focus, a second set of brackets will
appear.
Spot
The camera uses a small area in the center of the scene
region to focus. You can use Focus Lock to lock focus,
then reframe (see Using Focus Lock on page 41).
