Position and size of the AF area can be modified easily during
recording.
[OFF]
AF area can be moved freely with 3/4/2/1 when
[ON]:
[Ø] is selected.
It will set so no picture can be taken when it is out of focus.
[OFF]: This gives priority to the best time to take a picture so
you can take a picture when the shutter button is
pressed fully.
[ON]: You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought
into focus.
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus
when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.
[OFF]: The AF assist lamp does not turn on.
[ON]: When taking pictures in dark places, the AF assist
lamp lights while the shutter button is pressed halfway.
(Larger AF areas are now displayed.)
It is possible to adjust focus manually after it was adjusted
automatically.
[OFF]
[ON]: It is possible to finely adjust the focus manually by
rotating the focus ring while AF lock (focus mode is set
