Option h [Auto-area AF] Description The camera automatically detects the subject and selects the focus area. • Use on occasions when you don't have time to select the focus point yourself, for portraits, or for snapshots and other spur-of-the-moment photos. • If a portrait subject is detected during live view photography, an amber border indicating the focus point will appear around the subject's face. If the camera detects the subject's eyes, the amber border will instead appear around an eye (face/eye-detection AF). ❚❚ Manual Focus-Point Selection When an option other than [Auto-area AF] is selected for AF-area mode, you can select the focus point manually. Press the multi selector up, down, left, or right (1342) or diagonally to select the focus point. A Locking Focus-Point Selection Focus-point selection can be locked by rotating the focus selector lock to the "L" position. Focus-point selection can be reenabled by rotating the lock to I.
