directional buttons, when the AF point lock lever (located just below the multi
selector) is not set to the L (lock) position.
■ 9-point dynamic-area AF. You select the focus point, and the camera also uses
information from surrounding AF points (nine points, total) to calculate focus.
■ 21-point dynamic-area AF. You select the focus point, and the camera also uses
information from surrounding AF points (21 points, total) to calculate focus.
■ 39-point dynamic-area AF. You select the focus point, and the camera also uses
information from all 39 focus points to calculate focus.
