❚❚ Choosing an AF-Area Mode

The following AF-area modes can be selected during live view 
photography and movie live view:

!

: Use for portraits. The camera automatically 

detects and focuses on portrait subjects; the selected subject 
is indicated by a double yellow border (if multiple faces are 
detected, the camera will focus on the closest subject; to 
choose a different subject, use the multi selector). If the 
camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for 
example, the subject has turned to face away from the 
camera), the border will no longer be displayed.

$

: Use for hand-held shots of landscapes and other 

non-portrait subjects. Use the multi selector to move the focus 
point anywhere in the frame, or press 

J to position the focus 

point in the center of the frame.

%

: Use for pin-point focus on a selected spot in the 

frame. Use the multi selector to move the focus point 
anywhere in the frame, or press 

J to position the focus point 

in the center of the frame. A tripod is recommended.

&

: Use the multi selector to position the focus 

point over your subject and press 

J to start tracking. The 

focus point will track the selected subject as it moves through 
the frame. To end tracking, press 

J again. Note that the 

camera may be unable to track subjects if they move quickly, 
leave the frame or are obscured by other objects, change 
visibly in size, color, or brightness, or are too small, too large, 
too bright, too dark, or similar in color or brightness to the 
background.
