Changing the Focusing Mode (FOCUS: MULTI AF/SPOT AF) If you shoot the subject in the default focusing mode, the camera focuses automatically (AF). The camera automatically measures the distances to 15 AF areas and focuses on the nearest AF area (MULTI AF), preventing the central area of the subject from becoming out of focus and allowing you to shoot with a minimum number of out-of-focus pictures. You can select only one AF area at the center of the LCD monitor to allow the camera to focus on this area (SPOT AF). Five different focusing modes are supported. Selective focusing modes Mark Mode Description None MULTI AF Automatically measures the distances to multiple areas to adjust the focus. None SPOT AF Measures the distance to the central area of the subject to adjust the focus automatically. MANUAL FOCUS (MF) Allows you to adjust the focus manually. SNAP Fixes the shooting distance to short distance (about 2.5 m). Infinity ( Ʈ ) Fixes the shooting distance to infinity. 72
