Focus modes
This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected separately in the Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. When using Digital Subject Programs, the focus mode is reset when the camera is turned off.
With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie recording, the auto- focus mode can be specified between single-shot AF and continuous AF in section 2 of the menu (p. 44). Single-shot AF, indicated by S on the monitor, allows the focus to be locked before recording the image, see the basic recording section. Continuous AF, indicated by C, con- tinually focuses the camera. When capturing still images, the camera continues to focus when the shutter-release button is held partway down. In movie recording, focus is locked when the shutter-release button is partway down, but it is continually adjusted during record- ing.

Manual-focus scale
When focusing manually, a scale shows the approximate subject dis- tance. The scale changes depending on the focusing range.
Use the up/down controller keys to focus; the monitor image is auto- matically magnified by a maximum of 2.5X depending on the digital zoom setting. The live image returns to normal after two seconds, when zooming, or when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.
When using the shutter-priority, aperture-priority, or manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38) with manual focus, press the central button of the controller to switch between using the up/down keys to focus or to adjust the exposure. The active function is indicated in blue.
