Setting the focus method

■AF MODE

Select the mode that matches the recording conditions and the composition.

5-area-focusing:

The camera focuses on any of 5 focus areas. This is effective when the subject is not in the centre of the screen.

WH 1-area-focusing (high speed): The camera quickly focuses on the subject in the AF area on the centre of the screen.

W1-area-focusing:

The camera focuses on the subject in AF area on the centre of the screen.

■About 1-area-focusing (High speed)

• You can focus on the subject more quickly than other AF modes.

• Pictures may become still in the condition they were in before the subject was focused when you press the shutter button halfway. However, it 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.

•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 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 or 1-area- focusing (high speed) mode.

•In 5-area focusing mode, AF areas are not displayed until the camera focused on a subject.

•AF mode is fixed to 5-area focusing mode in [SELF PORTRAIT] mode.

•The AF mode cannot be set in [FIREWORKS] mode.

■QUICK AF

When quick AF is set to [ON] focusing will be faster when the shutter button

is pressed as the camera automatically

adjusts the focus when there is not much jittering.

•Quick AF is fixed to [ON] in Intelligent mode [].

•Quick AF cannot be set in the following modes:

[NIGHT PORTRAIT], [NIGHT SCENERY], [STARRY SKY] or [FIREWORKS].
