Focusing
You can determine whether an image is focused from the color of the focus area frame
that appears when you press the REC button down halfway. The frame is green if the image is focused and red if it is not.
If the exposure is incorrect, the ISO sensitivity, shutter speed and aperture are displayed in red.
When the Camera Will not Focus...
•Set the [AF MODE] to [CENTER] ( p.90).
Next, move the camera so that the subject you want to photograph is in the center
of the shot. Then, holding down halfway the REC button so that the focus is
set, recompose the shot as desired and press the REC button down fully.
