◆Focusing on a moving subject ◆

If you press the shutter button down halfway to focus on the subject at the starting point A, the subject
may no longer be in focus when it reaches point Bwhere you want to take the shot.
In such situations, focus on point Bbeforehand and then lock the focus so that it does not shift.
This feature is also useful for photographing fast-moving subjects that are difficult to focus on.

◆Flash ◆

When a Continuous shooting mode is selected, the flash mode is forcibly set to “v” Suppressed flash.
However, when the mode is changed back to normal photography, the flash setting specified before
continuous shooting was selected is restored.
