Shooting images (Program Auto mode)

(Spot AF)

Focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area

automatically.

Using the AF lock function together, you can compose the image the way you want. Hold the camera steady so as not to misalign the subject and the AF range finder frame.

AF stands for Auto Focus.

Regardless of which mode is set, touching the screen will bring that part into focus (page 26).

When you use [Digital Zoom] or [AF Illuminator], the AF range finder frame is disabled and appears in a dotted line. In this case, the camera works to focus on the subjects at the center of the screen.

You can change the focus method only when [Face Detection] is set to [When touched].

• You can select only [Multi AF], [1.0 m], [3.0 m], [7.0 m] or [ ] when shooting movies.

The focus preset distance setting contains some error, and this error increases when the zoom is set to the T side or the lens is tilted upward or downward.
