• [Multi] is selected when using the following functions:
– [Intelligent Auto]
– [Scene Selection]
– [Anti Motion Blur]
– [Sweep Panorama]
– [3D Sweep Panorama]
– [Smile Shutter]
• [Multi] is selected during movie recording. But, if you use an E-mount lens and press the shutter button
half way down during recording, the autofocus area you set before you started recording is used for
focusing.
• When the AF illuminator is used, the setting of [Autofocus Area] is invalid and the AF area is indicated
with a dotted line. AF operates with priority on and around the center area.
The camera determines which of the 25
AF areas is used for focusing.
When you press the shutter button
halfway down in still image shooting
mode, a green frame is displayed around
the area that is in focus.
• When the Face Detection function is
active, AF operates with priority on
faces.
The camera uses the AF area located in
the center area exclusively.
Moves the focusing area to focus on a
small subject or narrow area by pressing
the top/bottom/right/left of the control
wheel.
