Tips
Remote Control
To operate the camera from a remote position or when the camera is
fixed in one spot, use the optional remote control unit.
Focus Lock Shooting
Usually, the auto focus function focuses the camera on the subject that appears in the
autofocus field on the LCD monitor or on the viewfinder. If the subject is located
outside the autofocus field, it may appear blurred in the resultant shot. Use the focus
lock to ensure accurate focusing on the subject.
See “How to View Images on the LCD Monitor” (p.47)
■ When to Use the Focus Lock
If the subject is not positioned inside the
autofocus field on the LCD monitor, a blurred
image will result, since the background, not the
subject, is in focus.
If an object other than the subject occupies a
major portion of the autofocus field, the camera
will focus on the backgroung, producing a
blurred image of the persons.
