Option Description Pattern 1 / Center Area (default)Focus areas are grouped in pattern 1 ( 150). Camera focuses on sub- ject in center focus area of selected group. Because camera does not have to select focus area, less time is required for focus operation.

Pattern 1 / Closest SubjectFocus areas are grouped in pattern 1 ( 150). Camera automatically selects focus area containing subject closest to camera in current fo- cus area group.
