Focus Point Selection
In manual focus mode or when autofocus is combined with AF-area modes other
than e (Auto-area AF), you can choose from 11 focus points, making it possible to
compose photographs with the main subject almost anywhere in the frame.
1 Choose an AF-area mode other than e
(Auto-area AF;
0 42).
2 Select the focus point.
Use the multi selector to select the focus point in
the viewfinder or information display while the
exposure meters are on.
Press J to select the
center focus point.
A AF-Area Mode
AF-area mode selections made in shooting modes other than P, S, A, or M are reset when
another shooting mode is selected.
A 3D-tracking (11 Points)
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the colors in the area surrounding the
focus point are stored in the camera.
Consequently 3D-tracking may not produce the
desired results with subjects that are the same color as the background.
