RECORDING MODE
Spot AF
The spot AF is used for selective focusing. Both focus and exposure are determined
with the spot focus area.
Press and hold the enter button (1) to
switch between the wide focus frame
and the spot focus area. Place the sub-
ject inside the spot focus area (2) and
pressing the shutter-release button part-
way down to lock the focus and the
exposure. Focus lock (p.24) is active for
off-center compositions. The focus sig-
nals (p.25) will confirm the image is in
focus. Press the shutter release button
all the way down to take the picture (3).
When the LCD monitor is off, the AF sys-
tem cannot be switched between wide
and spot AF; the last AF mode set will be
active. When the monitor display is live
image only, switching between the wide
and spot AF modes resets the display
mode to full.
When auto reset (p.40) is active, the AF mode will reset to the wide focus frame when
the camera is turned off.
The spot focus area can be used with movie recording. The focus area must be set
before recording.
When used with the digital zoom (p.41), spot focus area is
enlarged.
