Panasonic DMC-FZ20PP - Manual (Page 73)

Recording pictures (advanced)
73
• When setting to 3-area-focusing, pictures
may become still while being focused on,
however, this is not a malfunction.
• When using the digital zoom or when you
take pictures in dark places, the AF area
is displayed on the center of the screen
with a size wider than usual.
• When multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas)
light at the same time, the camera is
focusing on all the AF areas.
The focus position is not predetermined
because it is set to the position the
camera automatically determines at the
time of focusing. If you want to determine
the focus position to take pictures, switch
the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode.
This mode allows you to compose a picture
more easily by always focusing on the
subject.
When the AF mode is set to
1-area-focusing or spot-focusing, the time
required for focusing when pressing the
shutter button halfway will be reduced.
• When it is set to [ON], the [
] indication
appears.
• When setting the manual focus, you
cannot use the continuous AF.
• The battery may be consumed faster than
usual.
• It may take time to focus on the subject
after rotating the zoom lever from Wide to
Tele or suddenly changing the subject
from a distant one to a nearby one.
• Press the shutter button halfway again
when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
