This camera has 7 AF targets for focusing on the subject with auto focus. Select the optimal
AF target mode according to your subject and the composition.
There are two AF target modes: All target AF mode, which uses AF at all AF targets, and
Single target AF mode, which uses AF centering around one selected AF target.
When [LIVE VIEW AF MODE] is set to [IMAGER AF], 11 AF targets will be available during
live view. g“Taking a picture using live view” (P. 36)

The camera automatically focuses on the subject in front of
the camera from among the 7 AF targets. This is useful for
shooting moving subjects or relying on the camera for
focusing.
