•The large zoom factor capabilities of this camera can result in images being out of focus if the camera is moved while shooting with fixed focus. Whenever possible, mount the camera on a tripod or secure it using some other means before focusing. If the image is out of focus, either refocus or change to manual focus (MF) to adjust focus as required.

Using Focus Lock

“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to compose an image in which the subject you want to focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.

•To use focus lock, select “U Spot” or “O Tracking” for the Auto Focus area (page 45).

1.Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with the subject you want to focus on and then half-press the shutter button.

2.Keeping the shutter button half-pressed (which maintains the focus setting), move the camera to compose the image.

•When “O Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus area, the focus frame will move automatically and follow the subject.

3.When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the rest of the way down.

NOTE

• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).
