3 Various shooting functions

The camera's auto focus may not able to focus on the subject in the cases

shown below (e.g. when the subject is not in the center of the frame, when the

subject has lower contrast than its surroundings, etc.). If this happens, the

easiest solution is to use focus lock.

How to use focus lock

(if the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame)

1 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.

2 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.

If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock)
