If the image does not focus...

If the focus frame stays red and the operation lamp is flashing, it means that the image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.). Point the camera at the subject and try to focus again.

■Using Quick Shutter

Pressing the shutter button all the way down without waiting at the halfway point shoots the image using Quick Shutter (page 115). Quick Shutter lets you record right away, so you don’t miss those special moments waiting for Auto Focus.

•Quick Shutter focuses much quicker than normal Auto Focus. It comes in handy when shooting a fast-moving subject. It also eliminates worries of spoiled shots when you ask someone else to record and image for you, and they press the shutter button all the way without waiting for Auto Focus.

•Quick Shutter is turned on as the initial factory default setting. In cases when you want to take a little time for accurate focus, turn off Quick Shutter.
