The dedicated phase detection AF sensor with 79 focus points is used for auto focusing when a

When 79 focus points are available
When 61 focus points are available
Cross detection focus points achieve high capturing performance by arranging horizontal detection points and
vertical detection points in a cross shape in the same focusing area. The focus point at the center is also
equipped with a F2.8-sensitive sensor that supports lenses with a minimum F-value of 2.8 or lower.
