1 The recordable range (range that can be focused) is displayed during zoom operation.
2 If correct exposure cannot be achieved, it will be displayed in red.
(However, it will not be displayed in red when the ash is used.)

When the subject is not in focus (such as when it is not in the center of

the composition of the picture you want to take)

1 Aim the AF area at the subject, and then press the shutter button halfway to x the
focus and exposure.
2 Press and hold the shutter button halfway while moving the camera as you
compose the picture.
• You can repeatedly retry the actions in
step 1 before pressing the shutter button
fully.
• Touching the screen can also adjust the
focus and the exposure.
(Touch AF/AE, P30)
We recommend that you use the Face Detection function when taking pictures of
people. (P80)
Subject and recording conditions which are difcult to focus in
• Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast
• When the recordable range display has appeared in red
• When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects
• When it is dark or when jitter occurs
• When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and
near subjects
