Focus and Exposure
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera sets the focus and
exposure (combination of shutter speed and aperture value). The focus and
exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
When the digital zoom is in effect, the camera focuses on the subject at the
center of the frame, and the focus area is not displayed. When the subject is in
focus, the focus indicator lights in green.
The camera may not be able to focus on certain subjects. See “Autofocus”
(A64) for more information.
In G (easy auto) mode, the areas to be used for focusing will change
depending on shooting scene that is automatically determined by the camera.
- When a face is detected:
Focuses on the face around which a double border
(focus area) is displayed. When the camera has
focused on that face, the double border will turn
green.
- When a face is not detected:
The camera automatically selects the areas
containing the subject closest to the camera out of
9 focus areas. When the subject is in focus, the
focus areas that are in focus light in green.
When the camera determines a scene mode other
than the
U or i shooting mode icon, the
camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame (A10).
The areas to be used for focusing in scene mode vary depending on the
selected scene (A35).
In special effects mode, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame.
In smart portrait mode, the camera focuses on the face around which a double
border (focus area) is displayed.
In auto mode, the areas to be used for focusing can be set using AF area mode
