Description

AF point expansion (Manual selection)

Solution

AF point expansion (Manual selection )

The manually-selected AF point <> and adjacent AF points <> (above, below, on the left and on the right) are used to focus. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point. With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected AF point <> must focus track the subject first. However, it is easier to focus the target subject than with Zone AF.

With One-Shot AF, when focus is achieved with an expanded AF point, the expanded AF point <> will also be displayed along with the manually-selected AF point <>.

 

AF point expansion (Manual selection, surrounding points)

The manually-selected AF point <> and adjacent AF points <> are used to focus. The AF point expansion is larger than with AF point expansion (Manual selection ), so the focusing is executed over a wider area. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with just one AF point.

AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in the same way as with AF point expansion (Manual selection ) mode

 

Zone AF (Manual selection of zone)

The 61 AF points are divided into nine zones for focusing. All the AF points in the selected zone are used to automatically select the point of focus. It makes achieving focus easier than with Single-point AF or AF point expansion and it is effective for moving subjects. However, since it is inclined to focus the nearest subject, focusing a specific target is harder than with Single-point AF or AF point expansion.

The AF point(s) achieving focus is displayed as <>.
