nHigh speed AF (H) mode

•When you select 3-area-focusing (high speed) or 1-area-focusing (high speed), the auto focus is activated in high speed and you can focus on the subject more quickly.

•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. If you do not want to make pictures still during the auto focus, use the AF mode other than 3-area-focusing (high speed) mode and 1-area-focusing (high speed) mode.

•When using 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, 1-area- focusing (high speed) or Spot-focusing mode.

•You cannot change the AF mode setting when using [FIREWORKS] or [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P61).

•This is fixed to 1-area-focusing in Auto mode [0].
