Canon E 430 - Manual (Page 38)

Focusing
Two focusing systems are available to suit your
needs: autofocus and manual focus.
Autofocus
The camera enters autofocus mode as soon as
you turn the camera on. Focus adjusts
automatically to suit the subject located in the
centre of the viewfinder.
• The camera transmits infrared beams to the
subject and receives reflected beams at the
autofocus window to focus automaticaliy.
When the subject is at a distance of
approximately 3 metres, focus is adjusted in
the centre of the viewfinder. For subject
distances greater than 3 metres, camera
focus point is slightly higher and to the left in
the viewfinder: for distances less than 3
metres, camera focus point is slightly lower
and to the right. For very close subjects at a
distance of less than approximately 1 metre,
this shift of focus becomes more obvious.
