Selecting the Focus Distance before Shooting

The camera is set by default to automatic focus (AF), but is can also be used with manual focus (MF) if desired. When MF is selected, a focusing scale is displayed on the screen; the user specifies the desired focusing distance.

Shooting a Night Scene or the Inside of a Room (Long Exposure Mode)

By extending the shutter speed (the time the shutter remains open during an exposure), you can photograph darker subjects like a night or scene or a moody indoor scene with a special atmosphere. Long shutter speeds of 8, 4, and 2 seconds can be selected.
