  2. Press the key to which [Focus Standard] is assigned.
    • What you can do by pressing the key varies depending on the setting for [Focus Area].

    • [Zone]
    • [Spot: XL]/[Spot: L]/[Spot: M]/[Spot: S]/[Spot: XS]
    • [Expand Spot]

  • When [Focus Area] is set to [Wide], [Center Fix], [Tracking: Wide], or [Tracking: Center Fix], pressing the key in the autofocus mode makes the camera focus on the center of the screen.
