Changing The Focus Range (Af Mode) - Olympus IR-500 Reference Manual

Changing the focus range (AF MODE)

If the subject is out of focus even when you shoot with the auto focus, you can narrow the auto-
focusing area only to the AF target mark.
AUTO
Even if the subject is out of the AF target
mark (not in the center of the monitor), the
camera will find the subject and focus on it.
(Hold the shutter button half-pressed until the
green indicator lights up, and the AF target
mark moves to the subject to be focused.)
Tip
"AF MODE" cannot be set in movie shooting mode.

SPOT
The camera always focuses on the AF target
mark. When it is difficult to focus on the
subject with auto focus, use this mode to lock
the focus.
