You can use the following procedure to change the Auto Focus metering area for
shooting snapshots.
• When recording movies, the AF metering area is always “U Spot”.
• Auto Focus is disabled when “MF” (Manual Focus) is selected for the focus mode
(page 42), even if you select an AF area.
• With some BEST SHOT scenes, there are restrictions on the use of AF area
settings. Because of this, you may not be able to use certain settings or you may
not be able to specify any AF Area setting.
• While Face Detection (page 106) is turned on, regardless of the current AF Area
setting, “U Spot” (center) focusing will be used automatically whenever a face
cannot be detected for some reason.
