Recording pictures (advanced)

•When setting to 3-area-focusing, pictures may become still while being focused on, however, this is not a malfunction.

•In the digital zoom or when you take pictures in dark places, the AF area is displayed on the center of the screen with a size wider than usual.

•When multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas) light at the same time, the camera is focusing on all the AF areas.

The focus position is not predetermined because it is set to the position the camera automatically determines at the time of focusing. If you want to determine the focus position to take pictures, switch the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode.

Continuous AF [CONT.AF]

This mode allows you to compose a picture more easily by always focusing on the subject.

When the AF mode is set to

1-area-focusing or spot-focusing, the time required for focusing when pressing the shutter button halfway will be reduced.

•When it is set to [ON], the [ ] indication appears.

•The battery may be consumed faster than usual.

•It may take time to focus on the subject after rotating the zoom lever from Wide to Tele or suddenly changing the subject from a distant one to a nearby one.

•Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
