NUMBER OF AVAILABLE FRAMES
The number of available frames appears on the
display panel.
HFOCUSING MODE
This mode can only be selected in “B”
photography mode for shots taken using the LCD
monitor.
Each time the “T” button is pressed, the focusing
mode switches between “I” (AF (MULTI)) and
“O” (AF (CENTER)).
●
! See P.32 for information on changing the quality mode.
●
! The default quality mode “y” set at shipment is 1.
OAF (CENTER)
The camera focuses on the center of the
screen. This is a useful feature when used for
shots using AF/AE lock (➡P.26).
◆Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus ◆
Though the FinePix F610 uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or not
be able to focus at all on the types of subjects and situations listed below. In such cases, the image
may be out of focus.
hVery shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body.
hSubjects photographed through glass.
hSubjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur.
hSubjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames.
hWhen the subject is dark.
hSubjects moving at high speed.
hWhen there is very little contrast between the subject
and the background (such as white walls or subjects
dressed in the same color as the background).
hWhen there is a high-contrast subject other than the
main subject at or near the center of the screen and
that subject is closer to or further from the camera than
the main subject (as when you photograph someone
against a background with strongly contrasting
elements).
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock (➡P.26).
■Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject so that the number of available
shots may not decrease when a shot is taken, or may decrease by 2. Consequently, the actual number of shots that can be
recorded may be higher or lower than the figure shown.

USING THE VIEWFINDER TO TAKE PICTURES
VIEWFINDER LAMP DISPLAY
Compose the shot so that the subject is in the AF
frame in the center of the viewfinder and focus the
shot.
If the distance to the subject is between 0.6 m and
1.5 m, an area of the sort shown in the figure is
photographed.
To take pictures using the viewfinder, press the
“DISP” button to switch the LCD monitor off
(Switching the LCD monitor off conserves power).
Press the “T” button to switch the focusing mode
from “¢” to “O” (AF (CENTER)).
●
! The viewfinder cannot be used to take shots in Macro
photography.
●
! To frame your shot precisely, you should take the picture
using the LCD monitor.
●
! If the zoom is set to wide-angle, the end of the lens may be
visible in the viewfinder. This is normal and is not recorded in
the shot.
