Taking Photographs-Focus Controlling How the Camera Focuses Closest Subject Priority (Dynamic Area AF) Dynamic-area AF can be combined with closest subject priority. When this option is in effect, the focus area can not be selected manually, and no focusarea indicators are shown in the viewfinder or control panel.

Note that the camera may be unable to select the focus area containing the subject closest to the camera when a telephoto lens is used or your subject is poorly lit. Single-area AF is recommended in these cases. 20-Dyn.

Closest Subject Priority (Dynamic Area AF)
Dynamic-area AF can be combined with
closest subject priority
.
When this
option is in effect, the focus area can not be selected manually, and no focus-
area indicators are shown in the viewfinder or control panel.
Instead, the
camera automatically chooses the focus area containing the subject closest to
the camera and focuses on this subject when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
Note that the camera may be unable to select the focus area
containing the subject closest to the camera when a telephoto lens is used or
your subject is poorly lit.
Single-area AF is recommended in these cases.
