[ Auto-area

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-of-the-moment
photos.
• If a portrait subject is detected during live view
photography, an amber border indicating the
focus point will appear around the subject’s face.
If the camera detects the subject’s eyes, the
amber border will instead appear around an eye
(face/eye-detection AF).
