Recording pictures (basic)

∫Focusing

•The focus range is 50 cm – (Wide), 1.2 m – (Tele).

•When you press the shutter button fully with one stroke, pictures may be blurry or unfocused.

•When the focus indication is blinking, the subject is not focused. Press the shutter button halfway and focus on the subject again.

•If the camera will not focus after a few tries, turn it off and on and try again.

•In the following cases, the camera cannot focus on subjects properly.

– When including both near and distant subjects in a scene.

– When there is dirt or dust on the glass between the lens and the subject.

– When there are illuminated or glittering objects around the subject.

– When taking a picture in a dark place.

– When the subject is moving fast.

– When the scene has low contrast.

– When jitter occurs.

– When recording a very bright subject. We recommend taking pictures using AF/ AE lock (P31).

•Even if the focus indication appears and the subject is focused, it is cancelled when you release the shutter button. Press the shutter button halfway again.

∫Jitter (camera shake)

•Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button, especially when fully zoomed into the subject.

•When jitter could occur because of slow shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.

F2.8 1/8

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. If you cannot use a tripod, be careful of how you hold the camera. (P31)

∫Direction detection function

•If you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, the information of the rotation on the pictures are automatically added and recorded to the pictures.

When [ROTATE DISP.] (P71) is set to [ON], you can rotate and display pictures on the screen or the TV according to the information of the rotation on the pictures.

•When you take pictures by holding the camera vertically, read “Tips for taking good pictures” on P31 carefully.

•This function may not work properly on pictures recorded by aiming the camera up or down.

•In motion image mode [], you cannot use the direction detection function.

Furthermore, the user-friendly interface simplifies navigation through the camera settings and shooting modes, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.
