AF 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
