Auto-area AF is recommended if composi-
tion is a priority, but dynamic-area AF may
be preferred if the background contains
objects with regular, detailed patterns, as
otherwise photos may not be in focus even
if the in-focus indicator (l) is lit. If you are
using dynamic-area AF, choose an option
with a comparatively high number of focus
points (
r
) to capture fast-moving subjects.
