Custom AF

focusing speed can be set in 10 steps, from -5 to +5. The larger the figure, the faster the AF. The AF tracking sensitivity can be set in 11 steps, from 0 to 10. The larger the figure, the easier it is to track fast-moving subjects. The width of the area in which AF is effective can be adjusted.
