Effective for pinpoint focusing overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage. Since Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing might be difficult during hand-held shooting or for a moving subject.
AF Area Selection Modes (4) Zone AF (Manual selection of zone) The 19 AF points are divided into five zones for focusing. All the AF points in the selected zone are used for the automatic selection of the AF point. It makes achieving focus easier than with single-point AF or AF point expansion and it is effective for moving subjects. However, since it is inclined to focus the nearest subject, focusing a specific target is harder than with single-point AF or AF point expansion.
AF Area Selection Modes If [8C.Fn III -12: Orientation linked AF point] is set to [1: Select different AF points], you can set the AF area selection mode and manually-selected AF point (or zone in the case of Zone AF) separately for vertical and horizontal shooting (p.214).
