Setting Guide (For Still Photography)

AF-Area Mode: Choose “Auto-Area AF”!

In auto-area AF, the camera scans all

focus points in the frame and choos-

es the focus point automatically. If

Face and eye detection on is select-

ed for Custom Setting a4 (Auto-area

AF face/eye detection) and the camera detects a portrait

subject, it will automatically position the focus point (in-

dicated by an amber border) over the subject’s face, or if

the eyes are detected, over one or the other of their eyes,

letting you concentrate on composition and your subject’s

expression even when your subject is in motion. Note that

eye detection is available only from camera “C” rmware

version 2.00.

When Lighting Is Poor

When photographing dimly-lit sub-

jects with AF‑S selected for focus

mode, choose On for Custom Setting

a11 (Low-light AF) to help the cam-

era focus.
