Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto Focus) frame.

●! When the subject is not in the AF frame, use AF/AE lock to take the picture (➡P.20).

●! The image on the LCD monitor before the picture is taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it (➡P.22).

Press the Shutter button down halfway. The camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor becomes smaller (the viewfinder lamp (green) stops blinking and remains lit).

●! If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “{” appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

●! Pressing the Shutter button down halfway freezes the image on the LCD monitor briefly. This is not the recorded image.

●! If “{” appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too dark for the camera to focus), stand about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

To take the picture, press the Shutter button down fully without lifting your finger off. The camera beeps and takes the picture. The data is then recorded.

●! There is a slight delay between the Shutter button being pressed and the picture being taken. Playback the shot to check the image.

●! When pressing the Shutter button down fully in one motion, the camera takes the picture without the AF frame changing.

●! When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns green and the next picture can be taken.

●! The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging. If the LCD monitor is turned on, the screen goes dark. This is normal.

●! See P.78, 79 for information on the warning displays.

Using the Camera

◆ Subjects not suitable for autofocus ◆

The FinePix A330/FinePix A340 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body

h Subjects photographed through glass

h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames

h Dark subjects

h Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as white walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

h Fast moving subjects

h Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects, use AF/AE lock (➡P.20).
