• The camera detects the main subject and
focuses on it. When the subject is in focus,
the focus area is displayed in green. If a
human face is detected, the camera
automatically sets focus priority on it.

automatically selects one or more of the 9
focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the
focus areas that are in focus are displayed in
green.
