For details on the operation

You can change the focus method. Use the menu when it is difficult to get the proper focus in
auto focus mode.

• AF stands for Auto Focus.
• Distance setting information in [Focus] is approximate. If you point the lens up or down, the error

increases.

• The distance selection is limited according to the Scene mode (page 27).
• When you are shooting movies, [Multi AF] is recommended as the AF works even with a certain amount

of vibration.

• When you use [Digital Zoom] or [AF Illuminator], priority AF movement is given to subjects in or near

the center of the frame. In this case the

indicator flashes and the AF range finder frame is

not displayed.

(Focus)

subject. (Focus preset)

• When shooting a subject through a net or through window glass,

it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these
cases, use of [Focus] is convenient.
