When you are shooting movies (MPEG movie)
and you choose Multipoint AF, the distance to
the center of the screen is estimated as an
average, so the AF works even with a certain
amount of vibration. The Center AF
automatically focuses only on the center of the
image, so it is convenient when you want to
focus only on what you aim at.
