The camera calculates the distance in five
areas to the top, the bottom, the left, the
right, and in the center of the image, letting
you shoot using the auto focus function
without worrying about the image
composition. This is useful when it is
difficult to focus on the subject because it is
not in the center of the frame. You can
check the position where the focus was
adjusted using the green frame.
The default setting is Multipoint AF.

frame. You can shoot in desired image
composition using the AF lock method.
