Shooting Suited for the Scene

OQ

Slow shutter speeds are used to produce stunning night landscapes.

Camera focuses at infinity. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator (A26) always glows green; however, focus may not be set for near subjects, while the camera focuses at infinity.

The AF-assist illuminator does not light, regardless of the AF assist setting (A142).

kClose-up

Photograph flowers, insects and other small objects at close range.

Macro mode (A35) will be turned on and the camera automatically zooms to the position at the closest distance at which the camera can focus.

The camera can focus at distances as close as 9 cm (3.6 in.) at

the wide-angle zoom position at which Cglows green (the zoom indicator is before Q). The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending upon zoom position.

The touch panel can also be tapped to choose an object on which the camera will focus (A24).

The camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.

As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, check the Vibration reduction (A142) setting and hold the camera steadily.
