     Aspect ratio N
    The image’s aspect ratio can be set to [ 3:2], [4:3], [ 16:9], or [ 1:1]. 
    The area surrounding the Live Vi ew image is masked in black when 
    the following aspect ratios are set: [ 4:3] [16:9] [ 1:1].
    JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio. RAW images 
    will always be saved with the [ 3:2] aspect ratio. Since the aspect 
    ratio information is appended to  the RAW image, the image will be 
    generated in the respective aspect  ratio when you process the RAW 
    image with the provided software. In the case of the [ 4:3], [16:9], and 
    [1:1] aspect ratios, the aspect-ratio lines will appear during image 
    playback, but the lines are not  actually drawn on the image.

      The image area displayed for the asteri sked aspect ratio is slightly larger 
    than the recorded area. Check the captured images on  the LCD monitor 
    when shooting.
      If you use a different camera to directly print images shot with this 
    camera in the 1:1 aspect  ratio, the images may not be correctly printed.

    You can select the AF method suiting the shooting conditions or subject. The following AF methods are provided: [u(face)+Tracking], [FlexiZone - 
    Multi] (p.155), [FlexiZone - Single] (p.156), and [Quick mode] (p.160).
    AF methods other than the [ Quick mode] use the image sensor to autofocus while displaying the Live View image.
    Select the AF method.
     Under the [A] tab, select [AF method].
     Select the desired AF method, then 
    press < 0>.
      While the Live View image is 
    displayed, you can also press the 
     button to select the AF method 
    on the Quick Control screen (p.149).
    Human faces are detected and focused. If a face moves, the AF point 
    < p > also moves to track the face.

    4Take the picture.
      Check the focus and exposure, then 
    press the shutter button completely to 
    take the picture (p.144).
     If the focus is far off, face detect ion will not be possible. If you set 
    [ Continuous AF ] to [Enable ], you can prevent the image from becoming 
    greatly out of focus.
      An object other than a human fa ce may be detected as a face.
      Face detection will not wo rk if the face is very small or large in the 
    picture, too bright or too  dark, or partially hidden.
      The < p> may cover only part of the face.
      If you press < 0> or the < L> button, the AF point  < > will appear at 
    the center and you can use the < S> keys to move the AF point. If you 
    press < 0> or the < L> button again, the AF point will move to the 
    detected subject.
     
    Since AF is not possible with a face  detected near the edge of the picture, 
    the  will be grayed out. If you press the shutter button halfway, the 
    subject will be focused in FlexiZ one - Multi method with automatic

    FlexiZone - Single: d
      When the camera does not focus  the desired target subject with 
    automatic AF point selectio n, switch the AF method to zone selection or 
    [ FlexiZone - Single ], and refocus.
      Depending on the aspect ratio setting,  the number of AF points will differ. 
    At [3:2 ], there will be 31  AF points. At [1:1] and [ 4:3], there will be 25 AF 
    points. And at [ 16:9], 21 AF points. Also, at [16:9 ], there will be only three 
    zones.
      For movie shooting, there will be 21  AF points (or 25 AF points if 
    [ 640x480 ] is set) and three zones (or 9 zones if [ 640x480] is set).

    AF Operation
     Focusing will take longer than with [ Quick mode].
      Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button 
    halfway will focus again.
     
    The image brightness may change du ring and after the AF operation. If the light source changes while th e Live View image is displayed, 
    the screen may flicker and focusing  may be difficult. If this happens, 
    exit Live View shooting and autofocus  under the actual light source.
      When [FlexiZone - Multi ] is set and you press the < u> button (or 
    tap < > on the screen), the center of the selected zone (or image 
    center with automatic selection)  will be magnified. If you press the 
    shutter button halfway, the display will return to normal and the 
    camera will focus.
      When [ FlexiZone - Single ] is set and you press the < u> button (or 
    tap < > 
    on the screen), the area cover ed by the AF point will be 
    magnified. Press the shutter butt on halfway to focus while in the 
    magnified view. This is effective w hen the camera is attached to a 
    tripod and you need to attain very pr ecise focus. If focusing is difficult 
    in the magnified view, return to th e normal display and use AF. Note 
    that the AF speed may differ betw een the normal and magnified views.
     If you magnify the view after focusing with [ FlexiZone - Multi] or 
    [FlexiZone - Single ] in the normal view, it may not look focused.
      If [u+Tracking ] is set, magnified view is not possible.
    Notes About [u+Tracking], [FlexiZone - Multi], and 
    [
    FlexiZone - Single]
      If you shoot a peripheral subject and it is slightly  out of focus, aim the 
    center AF point or zone  over the subject to focus, focus again and then 
    take the picture.
      The AF-assist beam will not be em itted. However, if an EX-series 
    Speedlite (sold separately) equipped  with an LED light is used, the LED 
    light will turn on for  AF-assist when necessary.
      In magnified view, the higher the  magnification, the more difficult 
    focusing will be because of camera  shake when shooting hand-held (as 
    well as when the lens focus  mode switch is set to ). Using a tripod 
    is recommended.

    Shooting conditions that make focusing difficult
     Low-contrast subjects such as the blue sky, solid-color flat surfaces 
    or when highlights or shadow details are lost.
      Subjects in low light.
      Stripes and other patterns where  there is contrast only in the 
    horizontal direction.
      Subjects with repetitive pattern s (skyscraper windows, computer 
    keyboards, etc.).
      Fine lines and subject outlines.
      Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps 
    changing.
      Night scenes or points of light.
      When the image flickers under fluorescent or LED light sources.
      Extremely small subjects.
      Subjects at the edge of the picture.
      Subjects strongly reflecting light.
      The AF point covers both a near  and faraway subject (such as an 
    animal in a cage).
      Subjects that keep moving withi n the AF point and cannot keep still 
    due to camera shake or subject blur.
      A subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
      Autofocusing while the subject  is very far out of focus.
      Soft focus effect is applied with a soft focus lens.
      A special effect filter is used.
     If focus is not achieved  with the above shooting  conditions, set the lens 
    focus mode switch to < MF> and focus manually.
      If you use AF with any of  the following lenses, using [ Quick mode] is 
    recommended. Autofocusing with [ u+Tracking ], [FlexiZone - Multi ] or 
    [ FlexiZone - Single ] may take longer or co rrect focus may not be 
    achieved.

    The dedicated AF sensor is used to focus in One-Shot AF operation 
    (p.95), using the same AF method as  with viewfinder shooting. You can 
    use nine AF points to focus (automatically selected). You can also 
    select one AF point to focus and focus  only the area covered by that AF 
    point (manually selected).
    Although you can focus the target subject quickly, the Live View image 
    will be interrupted momentarily during the AF operation.
