richard_vinson2 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm not a frequent user of the auto mode but I do have a question. When I aim the area auto frame over the subject I don't get a focus point on the subject, I get multiple AF points that light up simultaneously OFF center. Why is this?

Marcus Ian Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It assumes you do not know what you are doing, and typically picks a subject distance which gets the most AF points simultaneously in focus w/n the 'subject area'. The algorithm is a bit more complicated than that, but not incredibly. Kind of like 'center weighted average' metering - only w/ AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
