Menu item details
Wide :
Focuses on a subject covering the whole range of the screen automatically. When you press the shutter button halfway
down in the still image shooting mode, a green frame is displayed around the area that is in focus.
Zone :
Select a zone on the monitor on which to focus, and the product will automatically select a focus area.
Center :
Focuses automatically on a subject in the center of the image. Use together with the focus-lock function to create the
composition you want.
Flexible Spot :
Allows you to move the focusing frame to a desired point on the screen and focus on an extremely small subject in a
narrow area.
Expand Flexible Spot :
If the product cannot focus on a single selected point, it uses focus points around the flexible spot as a secondary priority
area for focusing.
Tracking:
When the shutter button is pressed and held halfway down, the product tracks the subject within the selected autofocus
area. This setting is available only when the [Focus Mode] is set to [Continuous AF]. Point the cursor at [Tracking] on the
[Focus Area] setting screen, and then select the desired area to start tracking using the left/right sides of the control
wheel. You can also move the tracking start area to the desired point by designating the area as a zone, flexible spot or
expand flexible spot.
