selects the focus point. Ifa type G or D lens is used, the
camera can distinguish human subjects from the background
for improved subject detection. The active focus points are
highlighted briefly after the camera focuses; in AF-Cmode or
when continuous-servo autofocus is selected in AF-Amode,
the main focus point remains highlighted after the other
focus points have turned off.
To select the AF-area mode, press the AF-
mode button and rotate the sub-command
