❚❚Choosing an AF-Area Mode
The following AF-area modes can be selected in live view:
Mode Description
!
Face-priority AF: Use for portraits.
The camera automatically detects
and focuses on portrait subjects; the selected subject is indicated
by a double yellow border (if multiple faces, up to a maximum of
35, are detected, the camera will focus on the closest subject; to
choose a different subject, use the multi selector).
If the camera
can no longer detect the subject (because, for example, the
subject has turned to face away from the camera), the border will
no longer be displayed.
$
Wide-area AF: Use for hand-held shots of landscapes and other
non-portrait subjects.
Use the multi selector to move the focus
point anywhere in the frame, or press J to position the focus
point in the center of the frame.
%
Normal-area AF: Use for pin-point focus on a selected spot in the
frame.
Use the multi selector to move the focus point anywhere
in the frame, or press J to position the focus point in the center
of the frame.
A tripod is recommended.
&
Subject-tracking AF: Position the focus point over your subject and
press J.
The focus point will track the selected subject as it
moves through the frame.
To end tracking, press J again.
Note
that the camera may be unable to track subjects if they move
quickly, leave the frame or are obscured by other objects, change
visibly in size, color, or brightness, or are too small, too large, too
bright, too dark, or similar in color or brightness to the
background.
