Chapter 1 / Section 2 Basic Shooting

How to Focus

The range displayed on the LCD Monitor is shot as a still image or a movie. When adjusting focus, press the shutter button halfway (half-press).

To adjust focus, follow the steps below.

Point the lens toward the subject you want to shoot.

Compose the picture on the LCD Monitor.

The focus is set at the center of the screen, so use the screen to center your subject.

If it cannot focus, the crosshair in the center of the LCD Monitor turns red.

Before focusing

Half-press the shutter button.

F stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are displayed in the bottom part of the screen, and the camera focuses.

Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white balance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of these to make sure the subject is in focus.
