Shooting functions k 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.

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.

• While the shutter button is being pressed, 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.

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.
