Focus Lock
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the shutter-release button partway down.
• The focus signals will indicate that the focus is locked. The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to black indicating the exposure is locked.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear on the live image to indicate the point of focus.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button, recompose the subject within the image area. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
Automatic Monitor Amplification
In extremely low-light conditions when the camera-sensitivity gain has reached its limit, the auto- matic monitor-amplification function will intensify the EVF and LCD monitor image. The live image will be brighter, however, the display will be black and white. This will have no effect on the final color image. This function can be turned off in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 104).
