Focus Area Selection - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Focus area selection

Individual focus areas can be selected in the auto recording and multi-function recording modes. In
the multi-function recording mode, focus area selection can also be used with Subject Tracking AF,
see page 66.
Press and hold the central button of the controller until the Area-AF frame lines
change to the spot-focus-area display. Press and hold the controller again to return to
the Area-AF frame lines.
Press the shutter-release button partway down
(1) or press the central button of the controller
(2) to select the area; the other four areas will
disappear. Focus and exposure are locked when
the shutter-release button is pressed partway
down. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to
take the picture.
Once a focus area is selected, it will remain active even after
the picture has been taken. Only when a focus area has been selected, can the
controller be used for other camera operations.
Press the central button of the controller to display all five focus areas. To use another
focus area, repeat the procedure. Press and hold the central button of the controller
about one second to return to the Area AF focus frames.
