Sports AF: Custom Settings, Continued a5: Store Points by Orientation This option lets you concentrate on shooting without having to worry about focus-point selection. Choose whether the camera uses the same focus point and AF-area mode in all orientations, or stores separate focus points and/or AF-area modes for use in "wide" (landscape) orientation, "tall" (portrait) orientation with the camera rotated 90° clockwise, or "tall" orientation with the camera rotated 90° counterclockwise. The options are [Focus point], [Focus point and AF-area mode], and [Off]. ● [Focus point]: Rotating the camera restores the Camera rotated 90° Landscape (wide) Camera rotated 90° focus point last selected in the chosen orien- counterclockwise orientation clockwise tation. If you select [Off] after choosing this option, the camera will select the center focus point for all orientations. ● [Focus point and AF-area mode]: Rotating the camera restores the focus point and AF-area mode last selected in the chosen orientation. In the example shown here, dynamic-area AF (S) is selected when the camera is in landscape orientation, 3D-tracking when it is rotated 90° counterclockwise, and wide-area AF (L) when it is rotated 90° clockwise. ● [Off]: The same focus point and AF-area mode will be used regardless of camera orientation. 10

This option lets you concentrate on shooting without having to worry
about focus-point selection. Choose whether the camera uses the same
focus point and AF-area mode in all orientations, or stores separate fo-
cus points and/or AF-area modes for use in “wide” (landscape) orienta-
tion, “tall” (portrait) orientation with the camera rotated 90° clockwise,
or “tall” orientation with the camera rotated 90° counterclockwise. The
options are [
Focus point
], [
Focus point and AF‑area mode
], and [

era restores the focus point and AF-area mode
last selected in the chosen orientation. In the
example shown here, dynamic-area AF (S) is
selected when the camera is in landscape ori-
entation, 3D-tracking when it is rotated 90°
counterclockwise, and wide-area AF (L) when
it is rotated 90° clockwise.

will be used regardless of camera orientation.
