Chapter 2
Using the Auto Focus Framing Marks
For the best possible pictures, the camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects (even if the subjects are not centered in the scene).
1Turn on the camera in any Still mode (except Landscape). The camera screen turns on.
2Use the camera screen to frame your subject. Press the Shutter button
3The framing marks indicate the main focus area or areas. When the framing marks turn red, focus is achieved. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear), release your finger, recompose the scene, and repeat Step 2.
While Shutter Button is Pressed Half-way
Center focus
Center wide focus
Side focus

Left and right focus
4Press the Shutter button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
NOTE: Framing marks appear when the camera screen is on. (Framing marks do not appear in Landscape mode.) When the focus is set to Center Zone, focus is fixed at Center wide (see page 32).
