i A green focus indicator appears when the subject is successfully focussed, or a red focus indicator when the camera was not able to focus the subject.

The shutter speed and aperture are displayed

i When the camera focuses and the target mark appears, at the same time, the shutter speed and aperture settings are also displayed. You can use them as a reference when shooting.

If the motion alert icon appears...

i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the motion alert 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 automatic (page 43).

i When shooting with the scene select function set to the fireworks 3 mode, the motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.
