[Flexible zone AF] is recommended for [AF area]. Setting [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition.
If the AF frame moves to an unintended subject, you can prevent it by changing [Whole area tracking Servo AF] from [Enable] to [Disable].
Selecting a slightly wider [AF area] such as [Expand AF area] helps keep the subject in the AF area.
If the camera tends to focus on an obstruction such as the bar, it may be effective to set [Servo AF characteristics] [Case Auto characteristics] to [Locked on: -1].
