Option Description • As for single-point AF except that the camera f [Wide-area AF (S)] focuses on a wider area. • Choose for snapshots, subjects that are in motion, and other subjects that are difficult to photograph using single-point AF. • During video recording, wide-area AF can be used for smooth focus when making panning or tilting g [Wide-area AF (L)] shots or filming moving subjects. • If the selected focus area contains subjects at different distances from the camera, the camera will assign priority to the closest subject. • The focus areas for [Wide-area AF (L)] are larger than those for [Wide-area AF (S)]. • The camera tracks focus on a selected subject. • Position the focus point over your subject and start tracking by pressing AF-ON or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway; focus will then track the selected subject as it moves through the frame. Release the button to end tracking and u [3D-tracking] restore the previously-selected focus point. • If the subject leaves the frame, remove your finger from the shutter-release button and recompose the photograph with the subject in the selected focus point. • This option is only available when photo mode is selected and [Continuous AF] is chosen for focus mode. 116 Focus
