NOTE

•You also can shoot a snapshot by touching a point on the monitor screen (page 55).

•You can specify the image size for snapshots. See page 56 for more information.

.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

“Focus lock” (page 63) 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.

.Shooting with Premium Auto

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

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

–The camera automatically determines the focus point on the screen and focuses there.

–When shooting people, the face detection feature detects the faces of up to ten individuals and adjusts focus and brightness accordingly.

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