Although this is the same as Single-point AF, the 
selected AF point  covers a smaller area to 
focus. Effective for pinpoint focusing of 
overlapping subjects such as an animal in a cage.
Since Spot AF covers a very small area, focusing 
may be difficult during han d-held shooting or for a 
moving subject.
Select one AF point < S> to be used for focusing.
The manually-selected AF point < S> and adjacent AF points < w> 
(above, below, on the left and on the right) are used to focus. Effective

AF Area Selection Modes
The manually-selected AF point  and adjacent AF points < w> are 
used to focus. The AF point expans ion is larger than with AF point 
expansion (Manual selection  ), so the focusing is executed over a 
wider area. Effective when it is difficult to track a moving subject with 
just one AF point.
AI Servo AF and One-Shot AF work in  the same way as with AF point 
expansion (Manual selection  ) mode (p.72).
The 61 AF points are divided into nine zones for focusing. All the AF...

All the AF points are used to focus.With One-Shot AF, pressing the shutter button 
halfway will display the AF point(s) < S> that 
achieved focus. If multiple AF points are displayed, 
it means they all have achieved focus. This mode 
tends to focus the nearest subject.
With AI Servo AF, the manually-selected (p.71) AF 
point < S> is used first to achieve focus. The AF 
point(s) achieving focus is displayed as < S>.

The camera’s AF sensor has 61 AF points. The illustration below shows 
the AF sensor pattern corresponding to each AF point. With f/2.8 or 
larger maximum aperture lenses, high-precision AF is possible at the 
viewfinder center.
Depending on the lens attached to the camera, the number of 
usable AF points and AF pattern will differ. For details, see pages 
76 to 81.
