The camera calculates the distance in three
areas to the left, and right and in the center
of the image, letting you shoot using the
auto fucus function without worrying about
the image composition. This is useful when

it is not in the center of the frame. The AF
range finder that was used changes to green
after the focus is achieved.

image, so it is convenient when you want to
focus only on what you aim at.
• When you use the smart zoom or AF
illuminator, priority AF movement is given to
subjects in or near the center of the frame. In
this case, or flashes and the AF range
