USING AF/AE LOCK

are not in the AF frame. Taking the picture at this
point will result in the subjects being out of focus.
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
Press the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE lock).
When a short double-beep is heard, the camera
focuses on your subject.The AF frame on the LCD
monitor becomes smaller and the viewfinder lamp
(green) changes from blinking to lit.
Continue to hold the shutter button down halfway.
Move the camera back to the original image and
press the shutter button fully.

■Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Cardformatted on the camera. The larger the
xD-Picture Cardcapacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,
the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
