When taking images of subjects other
than people, or framing a subject with
which no face is detected, the camera
will automatically select the focus area
(up to nine areas) containing the subject
closest to the camera.
When the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the focus areas that are
in focus (up to nine areas) selected by the
camera will be displayed in the monitor.
