REGISTERING A PREFERRED TARGET AREA/MODE
You can allocate a specific AF mode and proffered target area
into a memory slot on the camera and call this setting up at the
touch of a button.
If you wish to register a commonly used AF target mode and
area, simply press the Fn and +/- buttons simultaneously. The
target area and mode in use at the time will be registered.
In order to call up this setting you must set the Fn button mode
to use the [- - -] HOME setting when pressed (UMPg99).
Now, when you press the Fn button, the registered AF target and
mode is instantly set-up for you. This setting does not register
the AF mode in use and this must be independently set.
TARGET ZONE SIZE
A final option to consider is the size of the AF target itself. Yes,
indeed, on the E-3 you can set the area within which the camera
determines focus around each target. (
This is only active when
using single AF target mode.)
The default factory setting (normal) uses an area slightly larger
than the actual AF target marking in the viewfinder. This is useful
for action photography and greatly improves the C-AF “hit rate”
of sharply focused high-speed sequence shots.
For critical focus work where the subject is not moving a great
deal and where a lot of fine texture is present, you can set the
sensitivity to cover only the area demarcated by the target. This
is a custom menu option and is found on TOOLS menu 1, section
A (UMPg96).
