∫ When you want to take a picture of a
subject outside the AF area (AF/AE
Lock)
When recording a picture of people with a
composition like the following picture, you
will not be able to focus the camera on the
subject because the people are outside the
AF area.
In this case,
1 Aim the AF area at the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• The focus indication lights when the
subject is focused.
3 Press and hold the shutter button
halfway while moving the camera as you
compose the picture.
4 Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button fully.
∫ Direction detection function
Pictures recorded with the camera held
vertically are played back vertically
(rotated). (Only when [ROTATE DISP.]
(P74) is set to [ON].)
• Pictures may not be displayed vertically if
they were taken with the camera pointed
up or down.
• Motion pictures taken with the camera
held vertically are not displayed vertically.
∫ Preventing jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
• If jitter could occur because of slow
shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful how you hold the
camera (P24). The use of the self-timer
prevents jittering caused by pressing the
shutter button when you are using a tripod
(P42).
• Shutter speed will be slower particularly in
the following cases. Keep the camera still
from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the
screen. We recommend using a tripod.
– [NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P48)
– [NIGHT SCENERY] (P48)
– [PARTY] (P49)
– [CANDLE LIGHT] (P49)
– [STARRY SKY] (P51)
– [FIREWORKS] (P51)
– When the shutter speed is slowed in
[SLOW SHUTTER] (P67)
