Within the wide focus frames, there are nine sensors (local focus frames) to lock the focus on
the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway down, and the sensor in the focused area illuminated briefly
in red to indicate where the focus is.
Focus indicator
Looking into the viewfinder or pressing the shutter button halfway down triggers the
autofocus system. The focus indicator in the viewfinder indicates the status of the autofocus
system.
• The focus may not be confirmed by just looking into the viewfinder when the camera is mounted on a
tripod or a monopod, or is placed on a table, etc. Pressing the shutter button halfway down sets the focus.
