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 (
