Focusing on Subject
The focus area or focus range for adjusting focus varies depending on the
shooting mode and focus mode (
A58).
• In
A, B, C, D or i mode, focus area can be set by selecting AF area mode
( A66) in the shooting menu.
Using the Target Finding AF
When AF area mode in A, B, C, D or i mode is set to Target finding AF, the
camera will adjust the focus during the following operations if you press the
shutter-release button halfway.
• When the camera detects the main subject, it
focuses on that subject. When the subject is in focus,
the focus areas that match up with the size of the
subject will light in green (multiple areas may light
up).
When detecting a human face, the camera focuses
on it as a priority.
• The camera has 9 focus areas, and if it does not
detect the main subject, it automatically selects the
focus areas containing the subject closest to the
camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas
that are in focus light in green.
