This camera has 7 AF targets for focusing on the subject with auto focus. Select the optimal
AF target mode according to your subject and the composition.
There are two AF target modes: All target AF mode, which uses AF at all AF targets, and
Single target AF mode, which uses AF centering around one selected AF target.
When [LIVE VIEW AF MODE] is set to [IMAGER AF], 11 AF targets will be available during
live view.

All target AF mode

The camera automatically focuses on the subject in front of
the camera from among the 7 AF targets. This is useful for
shooting moving subjects or relying on the camera for
focusing.

Single target AF mode

(o Small-single target AF mode)
The camera focuses using one selected AF target. This is
useful for accurately focusing on the subject after composing
the shot. With M, you can focus using a range that is
somewhat larger than one AF target, but you can only set
the range within the AF target.
When [SMALL] is selected for [AF SENSITIVITY], the
setting display changes to o.

g“AF SENSITIVITY” (P. 95)

can select the AF target to be used at that point. For operation,
refer to Step 2 in “Selecting the AF target mode and
position” (

gP. 58) in the next section.

• When M is set, you can turn the control dial to select the AF

target.
