Recording pictures (basic)
33
• When using the camera in a sandy or
dusty place, be careful not to let dirt,
grit or seawater come into the camera.
ª AF/AE Lock (AF: Auto focus/
AE: Auto exposure)
When recording a picture of people with
a composition such as in the above
picture, you cannot focus on the subject
because it is out of AF area in usual
operation.
In this case,
1. Aim the AF area at the subject.
2. Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• When the subject is focused, the
focus indication lights.
3. Keep pressing the shutter button
halfway, move the camera as you
compose the picture.
4. Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button.
¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
• When brightness has changed due
to the zoom or the movement of the
camera, the lens may click and the
picture on the screen may be
drastically changed. However, the
pictures are not affected.
The sound is caused by automatic
adjustment of the aperture. It is not
a malfunction.
• When pressing the shutter button, the
screen may become bright or whitish
for a moment. However, the recorded
picture will not be influenced. This
function make it easy to adjust the
focus.
• We recommend setting the clock
again before taking pictures. (P21)
• When the time for power save is set
(P24), the camera is automatically
turned off if you do not operate within
the set time. When operating the
camera again, press the shutter button
or turn the camera off and on.
• When you use the optical finder, the
actual recording range become wider
than the viewable range of the
viewfinder. This is caused by the
difference of position of the optical
finder and the lens. This is not a
malfunction.
We especially recommend checking
the recording range when you use the
LCD monitor.
• When recording pictures within 1m
of the subjects
• In Macro Mode (P54)
• When the digital zoom is activated.
(P70)
• When you continuously take pictures
in high temperatures, the recording
interval may become longer due to the
process to reduce picture noises.
