Center:
Focuses automatically on a subject in the center of the image. When used together with the
AF lock function, you can compose the image you want.
Flexible Spot:
Allows you to move the focus range finder frame to the desired point on the screen and
focus on an extremely small subject in a narrow area.
Expand Flexible Spot:
If the product fails to focus on the single selected point, it uses the focus points around the
flexible spot as the second priority area to achieve focus.
Lock-on AF:
When the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down, the product tracks the subject
within the selected autofocus area. Point the cursor to [Lock-on AF] on the [Focus Area]
setting screen, then select the desired tracking start area using the left/right sides of the
control wheel. You can move the tracking start area to a desired point by designating the
area to be the flexible spot or expand flexible spot.
Hint
When [Focus Area] is set to [Zone], [Flexible Spot], or [Expand Flexible Spot], pressing
the key to which [Focus Standard] has been assigned allows you to shoot still images
while adjusting the position of the focus range finder frame by pressing the
top/bottom/left/right side of the control wheel. When you want to change the shooting
settings using the control wheel, press the in the center of the control wheel.
Note
When [Focus Mode] is [Continuous AF] and [Focus Area] is [Wide] or [Zone], the focus
range finder frame may change after the focus is achieved.
When the mode dial is set to (Movie/HFR) or when shooting movies, you cannot
select [Lock-on AF] for [Focus Area].
When [Focus Area] is set to [Wide] or [Zone], the size of the AF range finder frame may
be automatically adjusted according to the subject and the composition as follows:
When focusing on a wider area such as a landscape: A larger AF range finder frame is displayed.
When focusing on a smaller area such as flowers or small items: A smaller AF range finder frame
is displayed.
You can select [Lock-on AF] only when the focus mode is set to [Continuous AF].
A dotted square may appear around the whole screen in the clear image zoom, digital
zoom, or smart zoom range in order to focus using the entire frame.
Functions assigned to the top/bottom/left/right side of the control wheel or [Custom Button
2] cannot be executed while the focus range finder frame is being moved.
