DVANCED RECORDING
Press the shutter-release button partway down or press the
central button of the controller to select the area; the other
two areas disappear. Only when a focus area has been
selected, can the controller be used for other camera
operations.
Take the picture as described in the basic recording section;
press the shutter-release button partway down to lock focus
and exposure. 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. Press and hold the central button
of the controller to return to the standard focus frames.
Press and hold the central button of the controller until the three spot
focus areas are displayed.
FOCUS AREA SELECTION
Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the
desired autofocus area; the active area is blue.
Individual focus areas can be selected when recording still images. With auto recording
and Digital Subject Programs, focus area selection is reset when the exposure-mode
dial is moved to another position or the camera is turned off. In P, A, S, and M exposure
modes, the selected focus area remains active until reset.
