You can also change the focus area by using the Quick Control screen. Just press the Q button on the back of the camera and select the focus area at the bottom of the LCD Monitor (A). Then use the Multi-Controller to select one of the nine focus points (B). To set it to automatic selection, just keep scrolling through until all of the points are selected.

MANUAL FOCUSING If you find that the autofocus system won’t find your image, it’s really easy to switch over to manual focusing. On each lens there is a switch; just change it from AF (autofocus) to MF (manual focus) and use the focus ring to adjust focus by hand (Figure 1.9). If you half-press your Shutter button during manual focusing, just as you would if you were autofocusing, and you are focusing in the same area as the autofocus point, then you will hear a beep when the camera senses the image is in focus.
FIGURE 1.9 You can set the focusing mode on your lens to switch from autofocus to manual focus.
