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

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

F4.5 1/60

When multiple AF areas (max. 5 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 that 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.

Slow Shutter [SLOW SHUTTER]

SCN1 SCN2

The shutter speed can be automatically adjusted. However, if you want brighter pictures, you can manually select a slower shutter speed. This is especially effective if you want to take pictures where both the night landscape and the subject are bright, using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P56).

The slow shutter speed values you can select are: [1/8 – ], [1/4 – ], [1/2 – ] and [1 – ].

1/8–1–

• Usually, set to [1/8 –] to take pictures. (When you select slow shutter speed values other than [1/8 – ], [ ] appears on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)

• When you set shutter speed slower on [SLOW SHUTTER], we recommend using a tripod because jitters become easier to occur.

• You cannot set the slow shutter in [NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in scene mode. (P56)
