About the AF Function
This camera employs AiAF (artificial
intelligence autofocus) technology, which
uses a broad metering field to calculate the
focal distance with high precision. It delivers
a crisp focus even when the photographic
subject is slightly off-center.
The camera can also automatically focus on
the center when AiAF is set to [Off].
Image Seen in Viewfinder vs. Recorded
Image
When shooting an image, a larger range than
the one visible in the viewfinder usually gets
recorded. You can confirm the actual range
that will be recorded in the LCD monitor. In
addition, due to the viewfinder’s
specification, the range visible in the
viewfinder may actually differ from the actual
recorded image. The closer the subject is to
the lens, the more noticeable the difference
will be. In some cases, portions of images
shot up close that appear in the viewfinder
will not appear in the recorded image. You
are recommended to use the LCD monitor
during macro photography (p. 42).
