What is the camera focusing on?

i A target mark & on the LCD monitor shows the area the camera is focusing on.

i The camera automatically determines the correct focus by measuring from 9 different focus points within the shooting area. If the target mark is at a position that is different from the point you wish to focus on, you can refocus, for example, by changing the shooting angle.

i The large target mark appears when the camera focuses on a wide area in the center of the screen.

The focus and exposure can be locked

i By assigning an operation shortcut to an arrow key (page 94), you can set the autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When the exposure setting

is fixed, the	icon appears on the LCD monitor; when the autofocus
setting is fixed, the		icon appears on the LCD monitor.

i When the focus setting or scene mode setting (pages 84 and 87) is changed, the focus lock and AE lock are released.

The shutter speed and aperture are displayed

i The shutter speed and aperture settings are shown on the Recording Screen.

If the camera shake icon > appears...

i During photo shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the camera shake icon may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to Auto (page 51).

i When shooting with the scene mode function set to the fireworks mode, the camera shake icon always appears, but this is normal.

Does it seem to take a long time to save images?

i When shooting in dimly lit conditions, it may take some time to save the data to the card.

Does the image in the LCD monitor appear to waver?

i When the [O] button is pressed halfway, the image in the LCD monitor may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image processing and is not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will not affect your images in any way.
