l AF-Area Mode: Choose "Auto-Area AF"! In auto-area AF, the camera scans all focus points in the frame and chooses the focus point automatically. If Face and eye detection on is selected for Custom Setting a4 (Auto-area AF face/eye detection) and the camera detects a portrait subject, it will automatically position the focus point (indicated by an amber border) over the subject's face, or if the eyes are detected, over one or the other of their eyes, letting you concentrate on composition and your subject's expression even when your subject is in motion. Note that eye detection is available only from camera "C" firmware version 2.00. When Lighting Is Poor When photographing dimly-lit subjects with AF-S selected for focus mode, choose On for Custom Setting a11 (Low-light AF) to help the camera focus. 15
