¢ It will flash in red when appropriate exposure is not achieved. (Except when flash is activated)

When the AF mode is set to [], and multiple AF areas (up to 23 areas) have turned on, all the AF areas that have turned on are focused. If you would like to take a picture focused to certain area, switch the AF mode to [Ø]. (P69)

When the subject is not in focus

If the subject is not in the center of composition when the AF mode is set to [Ø], it is possible to move the AF area. (P71)

Take picture with different focus modes depending on the subject (P69)

Subjects and recording conditions which are difficult to focus

Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast

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

Preventing jitter (camera shake)

When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P100), a tripod, the self-timer (P68) or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) (P131).

Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.
