Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When a face looking toward the camera is recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border.
• Once focus has been locked the double border will
glow green.
• When the camera is unable to focus, the double border
will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway and
try focusing again.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than people or
framing a subject with which no face is recognized:
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera.
• When the subject is in focus, the active focus area and
focus indicator (Q) glow green.
• When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area and
focus indicator will blink red. Recompose the picture
and press the shutter-release button halfway to try
focusing again.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect, and focus will be in the
center of the screen.
