Getting to know your camera better

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then

recompose your picture.

• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 21)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want

to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway), and then recompose your picture and

wait for the subject to enter the frame.

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp

on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same

distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the

picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus

the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway,

and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button

pressed halfway and take the picture.

Hold the camera in a correct posture and press the shutter button slowly. To stabilize the digital

image, take pictures with

pressed (Stylus750/

750) or the mode dial set to

(Stylus740/

740).

The digital images are not stabilized when:

• images are shot using a zooming function of high magnification, i.e., using both optical

zoom and digital zoom functions,

• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or

• the flash cannot be used or when a low shutter speed set s mode is selected.
