You can focus on the subject more quickly than in other AF modes.
The picture may stop moving for a moment before being brought into focus when you press the
shutter button halfway. This is not a malfunction.
Note
The camera is focusing on all the AF areas when multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas) light at the
same time. If you want to determine the focus position to take pictures, switch the AF mode to
[ƒ], [Ø] or [Ù].
If the AF mode is set to [] or [ ], the AF area is not displayed until the picture is brought
into focus.
Switch the AF mode to [ƒ] or [Ø] if it is difficult to focus using [Ù].
The camera may detect the subjects other than a person as the face. In this case, switch the AF
mode to any modes other than [š] and then take a picture.
The AF mode cannot be set in [FIREWORKS] in scene mode.
It is not possible to set [š] in the following cases.
In [NIGHT SCENERY], [FOOD], [STARRY SKY], [AERIAL PHOTO] and [UNDERWATER] in
scene mode.
