Choosing an AF-Area Mode
The following AF-area modes can be selected during live view
photography and movie live view:
Mode Description
!
Face-priority AF : Use for portraits. The camera automatically
detects and focuses on portrait subjects; the selected subject
is indicated by a double yellow border (if multiple faces are
detected, the camera will focus on the closest subject; to
choose a different subject, use the multi selector). If the
camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for
example, the subject has turned to face away from the
camera), the border will no longer be displayed.
$
Wide-area AF : Use for hand-held shots of landscapes and other
non-portrait subjects. Use the multi selector to move the focus
point anywhere in the frame, or press
J to position the focus
point in the center of the frame.
%
Normal-area AF : Use for pin-point focus on a selected spot in the
frame. Use the multi selector to move the focus point
anywhere in the frame, or press
J to position the focus point
in the center of the frame. A tripod is recommended.
&
Subject-tracking AF : Use the multi selector to position the focus
point over your subject and press J to start tracking. The
focus point will track the selected subject as it moves through
the frame. To end tracking, press
J again. Note that the
camera may be unable to track subjects if they move quickly,
leave the frame or are obscured by other objects, change
visibly in size, color, or brightness, or are too small, too large,
too bright, too dark, or similar in color or brightness to the
background.
