The Focus Mode Setting
When the flash mode is changed in the A, B, C, and D shooting modes, the setting is saved even
after the camera is turned off.
A Autofocus
Camera automatically adjusts focus according to distance to subject. Use when the
distance from subject to lens is 50 cm (1 ft. 7 in.) or more when camera is zoomed all
the way out.
D Macro close-up
Use for close-ups of flowers, insects, or small objects.
When the F mark on the monitor glows green (when the zoom indicator is
positioned before G), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 2 cm (0.8
in.) from the lens. The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
B Infinity
Use when shooting distant scenes through foreground objects such as windows or
when shooting landscapes.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the AF lamp always glows green.
However, the camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects. The flash mode is
set to W (off ).
E Manual focus
The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of about 2 cm (0.8 in.) to
infinity from the lens (
A39).
