Shooting Features
Focusing on Subject
The focus area or focus range varies depending on the shooting mode.
• In A (auto) mode, focus area can be set by selecting AF area mode (A62) in
the shooting menu.
Using the Target Finding AF
When AF area mode is set to Target finding AF, the camera will adjust the focus
during the following operations if you press the shutter-release button halfway.
• When the camera detects the main subject, it
focuses on that subject. When the subject is in focus,
the focus areas that match up with the size of the
subject will light in green (multiple areas may light
up).
When detecting a human face, the camera focuses
on it as a priority.
• The camera has 9 focus areas, and if it does not
detect the main subject, it automatically selects the
focus areas containing the subject closest to the
camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas
that are in focus light in green.
B Notes on Target Finding AF
• Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the main
subject may vary.
• When White balance is set to any setting other than Auto, the camera does not detect the main
subject.
• The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations:
- When the subject is very dark or bright
- When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors
- When the shot is framed so that the main subject is on the edge of the monitor
- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern
