MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING MODE

AUTOFOCUS AREAS AND CONTROL

In the multi-function recording mode, the controller selects the focus area used. The wide focus area
and focus area selection allow flexibility in a variety of situations.

Switching between the wide focus area and the spot focus areas is simple. Press
and hold the controller until the wide-focus-area frame lines change to the spot-
focus-area display. Press and hold the controller again to return to the wide-focus-
area frame lines.

The wide focus area is an array of local focus areas that work
together to control focus. This system is especially effective with
moving subjects or quick shooting in fast-moving events. When
focus locks, one of the AF sensors within the wide focus area will
briefly indicate the point of focus.

Except for digital subject programs, the basic operation of the camera in multi-function recording
mode is identical to the auto-recording mode. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the previous
sections before moving on.

The multi-function recording mode allows greater flexibility over image making. This recording mode
gives more control over autofocus and composition. The menu controls are extensive allowing critical
adjustments to image qualities such as color, sharpness, and contrast. Unlike the auto-recording
mode, settings made in multi-function recording are not reset when the position of the mode dial is
changed.
