What is the camera focusing on?

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

i The camera automatically determines the correct focus by measuring from 5 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 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 camera shake 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 camera shake icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to automatic (page 61).

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