z When the AF frame is set to FlexiZone,

you can switch between shutter speed and AF frame each time the SET button is pressed (p. 82).

z Please note that camera shake becomes a factor at low shutter speeds. If the camera shake warning appears on the LCD monitor, secure the camera to a tripod before shooting.

z The aperture value and shutter speed change according to the zoom state as follows.
