auto focus mode.

finder frame automatically.
When you press the shutter button halfway
down in still image shooting mode, a green
frame is displayed around the area that is in
focus.
• When the Face Detection function is active, AF
operates with priority on faces.
(Center AF) Focuses on a subject in the center of the
finder frame automatically. Using the AF
lock function together, you can compose the
image the way you want.
(Spot AF) Focuses on an extremely small subject or a
narrow area automatically. Using the AF
lock function together, you can compose the
image the way you want. Hold the camera
steady so as not to misalign the subject and
the AF range finder frame.

distance (Semi-manual). This mode is useful when repeatedly
shooting a subject at the same distance. Use “Semi-manual” when
it is difficult to get sharp focus with automatic focusing, such as
when shooting a subject through a net or window.
• Focuses on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame in Semi-manual
mode.
