Taking Pictures using Spot Mode
When using Spot mode the size of the area used to calculate the focus and
exposure is decreased. It is useful when you may be shooting through a group of
people and want to designate where in the group the camera will calculate the
exposure.

]/[
]/[
]/[
]. (P27)

[MENU] button after finishing the
setting.
2
Aim the spot AF area to the
subject and press the shutter
button halfway for the AF/AE lock.
• The spot AF area

Move the camera to compose the
picture fixing the focus on the
subject and take the picture.
• You can set suitable AF/AE in more
limited areas.

• When the subject is dark, it may not be
focused properly.
• Background may become dark or
whitish depending on the subject
because the exposure is set
appropriately in the spot AF area.
