Using Auto Focus
As its name suggests, Auto Focus focuses the image automatically. The automatic focus operation starts when you press the shutter button down half way. The following is the Auto Focus range.
Range: Snapshots: 40cm to ∞ (1.3´ to ∞)
Movies: 10cm to ∞ (0.3´ to ∞)
•Using optical zoom causes the above ranges to change.
1.Press [ ] to cycle through the focus mode settings until there is no focus mode indicator on the display.
•When using Icon Help (page 124), select “
Auto Focus”.
2.Compose the image so the main subject is within the focus frame, and then press the shutter button half way.
•You can tell whether the image is focused by observing the focus frame and the operation lamp.
