selection mode]
AF area selection modes such as [Single-point
AF] and [AF point expansion] are effective for
switching according to the size and type of
subjects. While looking through the viewfinder
it can be difficult to change the mode while
tracking the subject. However, by assigning the
AF area selection modes you want to use, to
specific buttons, you can switch instantly while
continuing shooting. There are four buttons
that can be assigned. Think about the characteristics
of the sports and subjects you want to shoot
beforehand, and assign the AF area selection
modes you think you will use. By assigning
different modes to each of the four buttons
therefore four modes, you can control up to
four modes at will. In addition, aside from the
AF area selection modes, various functions can
be registered and applied, so by making settings
as needed, you have the flexibility to handle
conditions as they change.
