Setting the Focus

Digital Still Camera Mode : Advanced Techniques

In

(CAMERA) mode, the automatic focus will not engage unless the PHOTO button is

pressed halfway down.

To get good image quality, please verify the proper focus before fully pressing the PHOTO
button.

While the camera is focusing (when pressing the PHOTO button halfway down), a flashing
red icon (

●) will appear on the LCD screen. Once the focus is set properly, a green icon (●)

will appear.

A beep sound will be heard once the focus is set.

1. Frame your subject inside the AF focus area on the LCD screen in order to obtain clear

focus.

2. Press the PHOTO button halfway down to adjust the focus.

When the focus is set, a beep sound will be heard.

You can maintain focus by continuing to press the PHOTO button halfway down in order
to change your framing. This is useful when your main subject is not located in the center
area of your frame.

3. Press the PHOTO button firmly to take the image.

[ Notes ]

If the focus is not properly set, release the PHOTO button and then press the PHOTO button
halfway down again.

The flashing red icon (

●) will appear when the focus cannot be set. If this occurs,

release the PHOTO button and try again.

Use Macro mode for recording images at closer range, or proper focusing will not occur
(see page 112).

Vibration Warning (

) icon and Low Light indicator will appear when you set the flash

mode to Slow Sync (

) or Flash Cancel (

) in dark lighting conditions, and the PHOTO

button is pressed halfway down.

Use a tripod or allow the built-in flash to fire to obtain a clear image when the Vibration
Warning (

) icon appears.

To change your flash mode, refer to the next page.
