Camera: Shooting options and settings
Focus area
Use this option to change the positions of the focus area.
Generally, cameras focus on the nearest subject. When there are a lot of subjects, however,
unwanted subjects can be in focus. To prevent unwanted subjects from being in focus,
change the focus area so that a desired subject is in focus. You can get a clearer and sharper
photo by selecting an appropriate focus area.
In expert mode, tap
• C entre AF: Use this to focus on the centre of the frame.
• M ulti AF: Use this to focus on multiple areas. The photo is divided into two or more areas,
and the camera obtains focus points of each area and displays a green rectangle in places
where focus is set correctly. It is recommended for scenery photos.
