Notes
• AF focusing can be unsuccessful:
– if the distance to the object is too great (macro mode) or too
small
– if the object is not sufficiently illuminated
• Touch AF allows a direct placement of the AF frame. See p. 84
for more information.
MULTI-FIELD METERING
Several focus area are detected automatically. This function is par-
ticularly useful for snapshots.
SPOT/FIELD METERING
Both methods detect only those parts of the object that are within
the relevant AF frames. The metering fields are indicated by a small
frame (field metering) or a cross (spot metering). The very small
measuring range for spot metering allows focusing on tiny details of
the subject.
The slightly larger measuring range in field metering is less critical
for focusing, but still permits selective metering.
These metering methods can also be used for serial exposures in
which the part of the object you want to focus on will always be at
the same off-center position in the image.
Simply move the AF frame to another position (see p. 99).
