User's Manual

• Group-area AF: The camera focuses using a group of focus points

selected by the user, reducing the risk of the camera focusing

on the background instead of on the main subject.

Choose for

subjects that are difficult to photograph using a single focus

point.

If faces are detected in AF-S focus mode, the camera will

give priority to portrait subjects.

• Auto-area AF: The camera automatically

detects the subject and selects the

focus point; if a face is detected, the

camera will give priority to the portrait

subject.

The active focus points are

highlighted briefly after the camera

focuses; in AF-C mode, the main focus

point remains highlighted after the other focus points have

turned off.

AF-area mode can be selected

by pressing the AF-mode

button and rotating the sub-

command dial until the desired

setting is displayed in the

viewfinder and control panel.
