BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
About the REC Mode Monitor Screen
•The image shown on the monitor screen in the REC
mode is a simplified image for composing purposes. The
actual image is recorded in accordance with the image
quality setting currently selected on your camera. The
image saved in file memory has much better resolution
and detail than the REC mode monitor screen image.
•Certain levels of subject brightness can cause the
response of the REC mode monitor screen to slow down,
which causes some static noise in the monitor screen
image.
About Auto Focus
•Auto Focus tends not to work well if the camera is moved
during recording, or when recording the types of subjects
listed below.
—Solid color walls or objects with little contrast
—Strongly backlit objects
—Polished metal or other brightly reflective objects
—Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns
—Multiple images that are varying distances from the
camera
—Subjects in poorly lit areas
—Moving subjects
•Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not
necessarily guarantee that an image is in focus.
•If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for
some reason, try using focus lock (page 69) or manual
focus (page 68).
