Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.
When people's faces (front view) are recognized:
Camera will focus on the face surrounded by a double
border.
- Once focus has been locked the double border will
glow green.
- When the camera is unable to focus, the double border
will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway and
try focusing again.
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces
are recognized:
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera.
- When the subject is in focus, the active focus area and
focus indicator (Q) glow green.
- When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area and
focus indicator will blink red. Change the composition
and try again.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect, and focus will be in the
center of the screen.
