Focus Settings
With the mode dial set to A-REC, a choice of three autofocus
modes is available. In addition, M-REC mode offers a selection of
manual focus settings.
Autofocus settings
The following autofocus settings are available in M-REC and A-REC
modes:
When the mode dial is set to A-REC or M-REC, the autofocus
mode can be changed using the button. The setting changes
each time the button is pressed, cycling through the focus modes
in the following order:
NO ICON
(AUTO)
Macro Close-up
When using macro close-up, it is recommended that you frame photo-
graphs in the LCD monitor.
In macro close-up mode, the camera focuses continuously up to the
moment the shutter-release button is pressed. Focus is fixed when the
shutter-release button is pressed half way, and remains fixed as long is the
shutter-release button is held down (focus lock).
While the flash can be used with a focus mode of “Macro Close-up,” it may
sometimes be unable to light the entire subject. When using the flash, take
a test picture and verify the results in the LCD monitor.
