∫ Focusing
• The focus range is 50 cm to ¶.
• When you press the shutter button fully
with one stroke, pictures may be blurry or
unfocused.
• When the focus indication is blinking, the
subject is not focused. Press the shutter
button halfway and focus on the subject
again.
• If the camera will not focus after a few
tries, turn it off and on and try again.
• In the following cases, the camera will not
focus on subjects properly.
– When including both near and distant
subjects in a scene.
– When there is dirt or dust on the glass
between the lens and the subject.
– When there are illuminated or glittering
objects around the subject.
– When taking a picture in a dark place.
– When the subject is moving fast.
– When the scene has low contrast.
– When jitter occurs.
– When recording a very bright subject.
We recommend taking pictures using AF/
AE lock (P28). In dark places, the AF
assist lamp (P67) may turn on to focus on
the subject.
• Even if the focus indication appears and
the subject is focused, it is cancelled
when you release the shutter button.
Press the shutter button halfway again.
∫ Jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button, especially when fully
zoomed into the subject.
• When 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 of how you hold
the camera (P28). The use of the
self-timer (P39) prevents jittering at
pressing the shutter button when you are
using a tripod.
∫ Direction detection function
• If you take pictures by holding the camera
vertically, the information of the rotation on
the pictures is automatically added and
recorded to the pictures.
When [ROTATE DISP.] (P73) is set to
[ON], you can rotate and display pictures
on the screen or the TV according to the
information of the rotation on the pictures.
• When you take pictures by holding the
camera vertically, read “Tips for taking
good pictures” on P28 carefully.
• This function may not work properly on
pictures recorded by aiming the camera
up or down.
• In motion image mode [ ], you cannot
use the direction detection function.
