Focus Area Mode The F75/F75D's five focus areas cover a wide frame area. When the focus mode is set to AF (page 44), you can select either Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority, where the camera automatically selects the focus area, Dynamic AF Mode with Centre-Subject Priority, where the camera selects centre focus area, or Dynamic AF Mode, where you select the desired focus area. When the focus mode is set to M (manual focus), you can select either Centre Area Mode, where you focus manually using the centre focus area, or Single Area Mode, where you focus manually using the selected focus area. Tip Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority is useful when you want the camera to take automatic control over focus operations, or when shooting a moving subject. Dynamic AF Mode is useful in achieving focus on a particular part of a subject, or when the composition of the photograph is your top priority.
