Dynamic-area AF
The camera focuses on a point selected by the
user. If the subject briefly leaves the selected
point, the camera will focus based on information
from surrounding focus points. Use for
photographs of athletes and other active subjects
that are hard to frame using single-point AF. This
option is only available when photo mode is
selected and Continuous AF is chosen for Focus
mode.
f
Wide-area AF (S)
As for Single-point AF, except the camera
focuses on a wider area, the focus areas for Wide-
area AF (L) being larger than those for Wide-
area AF (S). Use for snapshots or photos of
moving subjects that are hard to frame using
single-point AF, or in movie mode for smooth
focus during panning and tilting shots or when
filming moving subjects. If the selected focus area
contains subjects at different distances from the
camera, the camera will assign priority to the
closest subject.
