after rotating the zoom lever from Wide to
Tele or suddenly changing the subject

• Press the shutter button halfway again
when it is difficult to focus on the subject.

the button for starting AF (Auto focus) to

subject with quick motion.
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
pre-determined.
