B Notes on AF Area Mode
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject in the center focus area
regardless of the applied AF area mode option.
• In some rare cases of shooting subjects for which autofocus does not perform as expected (A29),
the subject may not be in focus.
• This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (A90) for more information.
y
Center
The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame.
The focus area is always displayed at the center of the
frame.
s
Subject tracking
Subject tracking begins once you select a subject to be
focused on, and the focus area will move and follow
the subject. See “Focusing on Moving Subjects for
Shooting (Subject Tracking/Face Priority Tracking)”
(A87).
R
Face priority tracking
Once the camera detects a subject’s face, that subject
is automatically registered as the subject to be tracked,
and face priority tracking begins tracking that subject.
See “Focusing on Moving Subjects for Shooting
(Subject Tracking/Face Priority Tracking)” (A87).
