    AF means (A)uto (F)ocus. I don't have your camera so I can't really know what those symbols are but I presume that there are 3 auto focus settings.....

    Top one might be a setting for full frame... meaning that it will focus on the full frame of the picture or focal points showing in the view finder or screen of the camera.

    Middle one has brackets with just a middle cube and an H. don't know what the H stands for.

    bottom would be a focus setting for just the center of the frame!

    I'm sure if you look into your manual you should find what these settings stand for. I can only guess what that is.

    thanks for tips, and I find this in manual also. The middle one with 'H' is high-speed autofocusing mode. Not clear though what is difference between normal AF and high-speed AF in practice use.

    high speed AF mode will allow you to take many pictures while holding down the shutter button.
