In modes other than i, j, and (, the following AF-area modes
can be selected in live view:
Option Description
6
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 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.
7
Wide-area
AF
Use for hand-held shots of
landscapes and other non-
portrait subjects.
8
Normal-
area AF
Use for pin-point focus on
a selected spot in the
frame.
A tripod is
recommended.
