Focusing Question

While doing research on the M9, I saw a link to Leica's site:

http://m.leica-camera.com/messsucher_en.html

where they illustrate how the camera focuses. I understood the mechanics before looking at the site but I had never seen the size relationship between the focusing patch and the frame lines.

What I would like to know is how do you isolate specific subjects like tree branches with Summilux lenses and a patch that is so big? :bugeyes:

After some communications with others, it seems that I misunderstood the focusing patch. I thought that the patch was the total area that was being focused as opposed to anything within that patch can be focused on. Big difference!
