G AF Area Mode

Use this option to determine where the camera focuses. When digital zoom is in

effect, focus will be on the center of the screen regardless of the settings used.

z Face priority (default setting)

When the camera recognizes a face (front view), the

camera will focus on that face. See “Face Priority”

(A 91) for more information. If more than one face is

recognized, focus will be on the face closest to the

camera.

When shooting non-human subjects or when no

faces are recognized, AF area mode will switch to

Auto, and the camera will automatically select the

focus area (one of nine) containing the subject

closest to the camera.
