Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difﬁcult to get your subject in focus when:

-there is little contrast between the subject and background

(for example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the background)

-the light source behind the subject is too bright

-the subject is shiny or reﬂective

-the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

-the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the focus lock

Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus, you can reposition the frame to change the composition. When you are ready, press [Shutter] to capture your photo.

Basic functions

•When you capture photos in low light

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 52)

•When subjects are moving rapidly

Use the Continuous or Motion Capture function. (p. 68)
