Using Manual Focus
When the camera has problems focusing automatically, focus the camera
manually.
1. Move the OK ( ) button up.
The jog dial icon, correct focal distance* and manual focus icon appear
on the screen.
* The distance displayed is intended only as a guide.
2. Focus the shot manually.
Look at the image on the LCD monitor and set the focus by turning the
jog dial.
MEMO
You cannot use the flash when shooting still images during video
recording.
When you select [CONTINUOUS RECORDING], the flash setting
automatically changes to [SUPPRESSED FLASH].
When the flash is going to fire, the flash icon on the screen turns yellow
when you press the REC
button down halfway.
The flash works best for subjects at distances between 1.6 and 8.2 feet
(0.5 and 2.5 meters).
Setting the camera to auto mode selects [AUTO] as the flash setting.
When using a conversion lens (
p.65) set the flash to [SUPPRESSED
FLASH].
POINT
Manual focus allows you to fix the focus on a set location, so it can be
very useful for shots of moving subjects and for dark or strongly backlit
situations where the camera has difficulty focusing.
Manual focus is also useful in providing a way to lock the focus when
you are shooting subjects at a constant distance for long periods (such
as stage performances and school plays, etc.).
