Using Auto-focus

The camera comes with an auto-focus function to let you capture sharp and crisp photos and videos of your subjects. Depending on the Shoot Option you have chosen, you will need to either touch or press the Enter key to activate auto-focus. When auto-focus is activated, it is indicated by a flashing white bracket ( ). When focus is set, the bracket changes to a steady green bracket ( ).

Note For more information about the different shoot options, see “Advanced Options” on page 101.

By default, you need to touch (do not press) the Enter key to activate autofocus, and then when focus is set, press the Enter key to take the shot or start capturing video. For example, in Photo mode, touch the Enter key to activate auto-focus; when focus is set, press the Enter key to take the shot.

Notes • In Video mode, press the Enter key again to stop recording.

• In Picture Theme or Panorama mode, press the Enter key for each shot you need to take.
