Option h Auto-area AF Description The camera automatically detects the subject and selects the focus area. Use on occasions when you don't have time to select the focus point yourself, for portraits, or for snapshots and other spur-ofthe-moment photos. The camera gives priority to portrait subjects; if a portrait subject is detected, an amber border indicating the focus point will appear around the subject's face or, if the camera detects the subject's eyes, one or the other of their eyes (face/eye-detection AF; 0 57). You can also configure the camera to detect the faces and eyes of dogs and cats by selecting Animal detection for Custom Setting a4 (Auto-area AF face/eye detection; for more information, see "Animal Face/ Eye-Detection AF", 0 58). Face- and eye-detection free you to concentrate on composition and your subject's expression when photographing active human and animal portrait subjects. Subject tracking (0 59) can be activated by pressing the J button or by pressing a button to which subjecttracking AF has been assigned using Custom Setting f2 or g2 (Custom control assignment; 0 273, 287). Subject-tracking AF can be assigned to the Fn1 and Fn2 buttons on the camera or lens. A s: The Center Focus Point In all AF-area modes except Auto-area AF, a dot appears in the focus point when it is in the center of the frame. A Quick Focus-Point Selection For quicker focus-point selection, choose Every other point for Custom Setting a5 (Focus points used) to use only a quarter of the available focus points (the number of points available for Wide-area AF (L) does not change). If you prefer to use the sub-selector for focuspoint selection, you can choose Select center focus point for Custom Setting f2 (Custom control assignment) > Sub-selector center to allow the center of the sub-selector to be used to quickly select the center focus point. 56 Basic Settings
