.If the image does not focus...

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

.Shooting with Auto

If the subject is not in the center of the frame...

“Focus lock” (page 47) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in the center of the screen.

To track the movement of a moving subject

Half-press the shutter button to follow and focus automatically on a moving subject. See “Ë Tracking” (page 48) for more information.

.Shooting with Premium Auto PRO

•In addition to shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity, the camera automatically executes the following operation as required when shooting with Premium Auto PRO.

–Auto Focus is normally performed until you half-press the shutter button.

–Intelligent AF (page 48)

–Face Detection (page 94)

•Shooting with Premium Auto PRO can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens operation. This does not indicate malfunction.

•When Shooting with Premium Auto PRO, the message “Processing Premium Auto. Please wait...” may appear on the monitor screen. If you feel the camera is taking too long to process data, try shooting with standard Auto instead.

•In some cases, Premium Auto PRO may not be able to interpret the shooting environment correctly. If this happens, shoot with standard Auto.

•If “Š” is displayed, the camera will shoot a series of images with Continuous Shutter (CS). Take care to avoid any camera and subject movement until shooting of all of the CS images is complete.

•Certain flash settings (page 43) can limit environmental factors detectable by Premium Auto PRO.
