Snapshot Tutorial
You can use the following procedure to change the Auto Focus metering area for
shooting snapshots.
• When recording movies, the AF metering area is always “Í Spot”.
1. In the REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [8] and [2] to select the fourth control panel option from the top
(AF Area).
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the setting you want and then press [SET].
• Auto Focus is disabled when W (Manual Focus) is selected for the focus mode,
even if you select an AF area.
• With some BEST SHOT scenes, there are restrictions on the use of AF area
settings. Because of this, you may not be able to use certain settings or you may
not be able to specify any AF Area setting.
•“È Multi” cannot be selected for the AF area while Face Detection is enabled.
Specifying the Auto Focus Area (AF Area)
Intelligent
The camera automatically determines the focus point on the
screen and focuses there (intelligent AF).
• Face detection (page 94) operates automatically.
Spot
This mode takes readings of a small area in the center of the
image. This setting works well with focus lock (page 45).
Multi
When you half-press the shutter button while this setting
selected, the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area
from among nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area
where the camera focuses will be displayed in green.
Tracking
When you half-press the shutter button while this setting is
selected, the focus frame will follow the movement of the subject.
