What is the camcorder focusing on?
i
A target mark & on the monitor
shows the area the camcorder is
focusing on.
i
The camcorder automatically
determines the correct focus by
measuring from 9 different focus
points within the shooting area. If the
target mark is at a position that is
different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for
example, by changing the shooting
angle.

The large target mark appears when
the camcorder focuses on a wide
area in the center of the screen.
The focus and exposure can be locked
i
By assigning an operation shortcut to an arrow key, you can set the
autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When the exposure setting is
fixed, the P icon appears on the monitor; when the autofocus setting is
fixed, the p icon appears on the monitor.

lock is released.
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed

If the camcorder shake icon > appears...
i
During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility
that the image may be blurred due to camcorder shake becomes high, the
camcorder shake icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a
tripod to stabilize the camcorder when shooting.

When shooting with the scene select function set to the fireworks +
mode, the camcorder shake icon always appears, but this is normal.
Does it seem to take a long time to save images?
