Focusing and shooting functions

If the camera’s focus does not focus, the easiest solution is to use the focus lock. Use this when

composing the subject outside of the AF targets or when the subject is difficult to focus on.

Adjust 1 selected AF target to the subject to be

focused and press the shutter button halfway

until the AF confirmation mark lights up. (Single

target AF mode)

•

The focus is locked. The AF confirmation mark and

the AF target in focus light up on the LCD monitor.

•

If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the shutter

button halfway again.

•

The AF target mark is displayed for only a moment

when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

While pressing the shutter button halfway, move

to the desired composition and press the button

all the way.

•

The card access lamp blinks while the picture is being

stored on the card.

If the subject has lower contrast than its surroundings

If the contrast of the subject is weak, such as when the lighting is insufficient or the subject

cannot be seen clearly because of fog, the focus may not be achieved. Focus (focus lock) on a

high-contrast object the same distance away as the intended subject, recompose your shot and

then take the picture.
