The setting determines how the camera will
choose the focus area.
Notes on AF Area Mode
When the lens is rotated to point in the same direction as the monitor or digital
zoom is in effect, AF Area Mode is set to    (Off) and the center focus area is
used.
OptionDescription
Auto Camera automatically selects focus area contain-
ing subject closest to camera. Selected focus area
is displayed in green (focused)  or red (not
focused) when shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. This setting is useful when your subject is
moving erratically or you have little time to check
focus.
Manual User selects focus area manually using multi selec-
tor. This option can be used instead of focus lock
( 37) to focus on a relatively motionless subject
that is not at the center of the frame.
Off Center focus area is used. This option can be used
in combination with focus lock ( 37) to focus
on an off-center subject.
