These functions are described below.
A Preset focus point: Pressing the control selects a preset focus point. To choose the point, highlight
it and hold the control while pressing the focus-mode button; the focus point will ash when the
operation is complete. If an option other than [O] is selected for Custom Setting a5 [Store points
by orientation], you can choose separate focus points for “wide” (landscape) orientation and each
of the two “tall” (portrait) orientations. Pressing
2
when [Preset focus point] is highlighted dis-
plays a sub-menu where you can choose how the control behaves:
⁃ [Press to recall focus point]: Pressing the control selects the preset focus point.
⁃ [Hold to recall focus point]: The camera switches to the preset focus point only while the control is
pressed and restores the previously-selected point when the control is released.
K Select center focus point: Pressing the control selects the center focus point.
F Save focus position/H Recall focus position: Controls assigned these roles can be used to save
and quickly recall the lens’s current focus position. You may nd this useful if you frequently return
to subjects at a xed focus distance.
⁃
To save the current focus position, press and hold the control assigned the [Save focus position]
role. The saved focus position can be restored by pressing a control assigned [Recall focus position].
⁃ [Recall focus position] can be assigned to multiple controls. You can choose whether each con-
trol recalls a separate focus position ([Save individually]) or the same focus position can be re-
called using any of several dierent controls ([Save to all]).
x AF-area mode: Highlight this option and press
2
to select an AF-area mode. The selected mode will
take eect while the control is pressed; releasing the control restores the original AF-area mode.
5 AF-area mode+ AF-ON: As for [AF‑area mode], except that pressing the control also initiates autofocus.
A AF-ON: The control performs the role normally performed by the AF‑ON button. Pressing the
control initiates autofocus.
F AF lock only: Focus locks while the control is pressed.
B AE/AF lock: Focus and exposure lock while the control is pressed.
z Focus mode/AF-area mode: The control performs the role normally performed by the focus-mode
button. Hold the control and rotate the main command dial to choose the focus mode, the
sub-command dial to choose the AF-area mode.
