Switching between Focusing Modes

Although the autofocus function is preset to the AiAF setting (9 AF frames),
you can set it to the center AF frame.
When [AiAF] is set to [On], the AF frame does not appear. When [AiAF] is
set to [Off], however, the AF frame will appear.

The symbol represents the AF frames as they appear in the LCD monitor.

The focus is locked to the center AF frame when the digital zoom is
used.

No frame

On

The camera detects the subject and highlights the AF frames,
