What is focus lock?

i When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the subject, and as long as the shutter button is kept pressed halfway, the focus is fixed (locked) at the same distance. This is called “focus lock”. After focusing on the subject, you can then reorient the camera while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway to compose the picture you like.

When the focus mode (page 58) is set to the 9-point focus mode B...

i A target mark & on the monitor shows the area the camera is focusing on. i The camera automatically determines the

correct focus by measuring from 9 different focus points within the shooting area. If the

target mark is at a position that is different from the point you wish to focus on, you

can refocus, for example, by changing the shooting angle.

i The large target mark appears when the camera focuses on a wide area in the center of the screen.

About the focus indicator

i A green focus indicator appears when the subject is successfully focused, or a red focus indicator when the camera was not able to focus the subject.

The shutter speed and aperture are displayed

i The shutter speed and aperture settings are also displayed on the monitor. You can use them as a reference when shooting.

If the motion alert icon appears...

i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the motion alert icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to automatic (page 47).

i When shooting with the fireworks ^ scene function, the motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.
