A (Auto) Mode
Used for general shooting. Settings can be adjusted in the shooting menu (A39)
to suit the shooting conditions and the type of shot you want to capture.
• You can change how the camera selects the area of the frame to focus on by
pressing the d button, selecting the A tab, and then selecting AF area
mode (A40).
The default setting is Face priority.
If the camera detects a face, it focuses on that face. See “Using Face Detection”
(A73) for more information. If no faces are detected, the camera automatically
selects one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject closest to the
camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights in
green (maximum of nine areas).
