∫ Prefocus
This is a technique for focusing in advance
on the point the pictures will be taken when
it is difficult to focus on the subject with
auto focus due to its quick motion. [e.g.
[PANNING] (P61) in scene mode]
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
• You can also record with manual focus in
motion picture mode [ ]. However the
focus is fixed while recording motion
pictures.
• If you focus on the subject in Wide and
then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the
focus may not be adequate. In this case,
focus on the subject again.
• You cannot set continuous AF (P81) when
manual focus is set.
• The MF assistance screen does not
appear when using the digital zoom.
• The distance to the subject displayed on
the screen in manual focus is an
approximation of the focus position.
Remember that the distance is an
approximation when taking a picture.
• Use the assistance screen for a final
check of the focus.
• After canceling power save mode, focus
on the subject again.
Scene Mode
When you select a scene mode to match
the subject and recording situation, the
camera sets the optimal exposure and hue
to obtain the desired picture.
• Refer to P59 to 65 for each scene menu.
1 Press 3/4 to select the scene
mode.
• Press 4 at A to switch to the next
menu screen.
• If [SCENE MODE] menu does not
appear, press [MENU/SET] to display
the [SCENE MODE] menu.
• When you press 1, explanations about
each scene mode are displayed. (When
you press
2, the screen returns to the
[SCENE MODE] menu.)
