Using the Target Finding AF
In A (auto) mode, or when AF area mode (A73) in j, k, l ,m or M mode
is set to Target finding AF, the camera focuses in the manner described
below when you press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera detects the main subject and
focuses on it. When the subject is in focus,
the focus area glows green.
If a human face is detected, the camera
automatically sets focus priority on it.
If no main subject is detected, the camera
automatically selects one or more of the 9
focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the
focus areas that are in focus glow green.
