Focus-area selection
Slide the focus-area switch to the focus-area selection position.
Use the controller to select the AF area; the camera focuses each time an
area is selected. The eight way keys select the local areas and the central
button selects the spot AF area.
The active area is
indicated on the monitor
and is briefly illuminated
in the viewfinder.
When the appropriate controller key pressed and held, focus is locked; the viewfinder
focus signal confirms focus. Compose the image in the viewfinder and press the shutter-
release button all the way down to take the picture. Focus remains locked after the
picture is taken until the controller is released.
Sliding the focus-area switch to the lock position, fixes the selected area.
Press the shutter-release button partway down to focus.
Only the spot AF area can be used with the AF Reflex 500mm f/8 and AF Power Zoom 35-80mm
f/4.0-5.6 lenses.
