Shooting functions – Various shooting functions

The camera’s auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when the

subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use focus

lock.

Adjust the AF frame with the subject to

be focused and press the shutter button

halfway until the AF confirmation mark

lights up.

•

The focus is locked. The AF confirmation mark and

the AF focusing frame light up in the viewfinder.

•

If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the shutter

button halfway again.

•

The control panel screen disappears.

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.

The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each

frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit subject

or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of frames with

a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The pictures are

taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in

direction, and

picture adjusted in + direction.

If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock)
