area
In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, user selects focus point manually (0 58),
but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus
points if subject briefly leaves selected point.
Use with erratically
moving subjects.
In AF-S focus mode, user selects focus point manually
(0 58); camera focuses on subject in selected focus point only.
e Auto-area Camera automatically detects subject and selects focus point.
f
3D-tracking
(11 points)
In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, user selects focus point using multi selector
(0 58).
If subject moves after camera has focused, camera uses 3D-
tracking to select new focus point and keep focus locked on original
subject while shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
If subject
leaves viewfinder, remove your finger from shutter-release button
and recompose photograph with subject in selected focus point.
In
AF-S focus mode, user selects focus point manually (0 58); camera
focuses on subject in selected focus point only.
A AF-Area Mode
AF-area mode can also be selected from the Custom Settings menu
(0 155).
AF-area mode selections made in shooting modes other
than P, S, A, or M are reset when another shooting mode is selected.
A 3D-tracking (11 Points)
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the colors in the area surrounding the
focus point are stored in the camera.
Consequently 3D-tracking may not produce the
desired results with subjects that are the same color as the background.
