Focusing
Using Target Finding AF
When AF area mode (
A134) in A (auto) mode is set to Target finding AF, the 
camera focuses in the manner described below when you press the shutter-release 
button halfway.
• The camera detects the main subject and focuses 
on it. When the subject is in focus, the focus area is 
displayed in green. If a human face is detected, the 
camera automatically sets focus priority on it.
• If no main subject is detected, the camera 
automatically selects one or more of the nine focus 
areas containing the subject closest to the camera. 
When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are 
in focus are displayed in green.

Notes About Target Finding AF
• Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the 
main subject may vary.
• The main subject may not be detected when using certain White balance settings.
• The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations:
- When the subject is very dark or bright
- When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors
- When the shot is framed so that the main subject is on the edge of the screen
- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern
