Shooting Features
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Using Target Finding AF
When AF area mode (A56) in A (auto) mode is set to Target finding AF,
the camera focuses in the manner described below.
When the camera detects the main subject, a
yellow border (focus area) is displayed
around it. If a human face is detected, the
camera automatically sets focus priority on it.
When you press the shutter-release button
halfway, the focus area that is in focus glows
green.
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 you press the shutter-
release button halfway. When the subject is
in focus, the focus areas that are in focus glow
green.
