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.

This camera may have difficulty auto focusing and be unable to focus due to the following conditions.

Where there are also objects behind or in front of the subject (as with an animal behind bars or a person standing in front of a tree)

Very glossy subjects such as a mirror or car body

Objects with little or no reflectivity, such as fur or hair

Subjects with very low contrast (such as a person wearing clothing of the same color as the background)

Subjects moving at high speed

Subjects with no substance, such as flames or smoke

Subjects photographed through glass

Subjects that are small and far away

Extremely bright subjects (such as lights, etc.)

In a dark location
