Setting Focus Zone in PASM Mode

If you do not get the composition and focus results you want by using framing marks (see Using the Auto Focus Framing Marks), use the Focus Zone feature to select a large or a concentrated area of focus.

NOTE: Focus Zone is available in PASM mode only.

  1. In PASM mode, press the Menu button.

  2. Press to highlight Focus Zone , then press the OK button.


  3. Press to highlight an option, then press the OK button.

Multi-zone (default)— evaluates 3 zones to give an even picture focus. Ideal for general picture taking.

Center zone—evaluates the small area centered in the viewfinder. Ideal when precise focus of a specific area in the picture is needed. The Focus framing marks stay in the center (see Using the Auto Focus Framing Marks).

  4. Press the Menu button to exit the menu.

This setting remains until you change it or use Reset (see Resetting Manual Settings to Defaults) to return to the default setting.
