Other Functions

<Focus Lock>

Camera focus and exposure are measured and locked when the shutter is depressed halfway. If you find that your focus is occasionally incorrect, particularly when shooting subjects located at the edge of the screen, use this feature in conjunction with the exposure mode to produce better focus results.

<Operation>

1Point the center focus frame at the subject you wish to be in clear focus and depress the shutter button halfway. The focus will be locked on the central subject.

2While keeping the shutter release button depressed halfway, move the camera to compose the subject as desired, then press the shutter the rest of the way to take the picture.

<Turning the Exposure Mode Symbols ON/OFF>

Certain exposure symbols on the LCD monitor can be temporarily turned off if desired to avoid cluttering the screen.

¶The flash mode, macro/landscape mode, and self-timer mode symbols cannot be turned off.

<Example>

For example, when the camera is set to the exposure conditions and functions shown in the accompanying illustration, pressing the “%” or “fi” button will cause the symbols to disappear temporarily as shown.

Press the “%” or “fi” button again to restore the symbols to the screen.
