Shooting Features
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
• When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A25), try pressing
the shutter-release button halfway several times, or try the techniques
described in “Shooting Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (A60).
Focus Area
In G (easy auto) mode or A (auto) mode, the camera performs the focus
operations described below when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• When a face is detected, it is framed by the
double border indicating the active focus
area. When the subject is in focus, the
double border turns green.
• When no face is detected, the camera
automatically selects one (or more) of the 9
focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the
focus areas that are in focus glow green (up
to nine areas). If a shooting mode icon other
than G or i is displayed in G (easy auto)
mode, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame (A6).
• Tap the monitor to select the focus area. See “q/s/r Touch shooting”
(A53) for more information.
