Recording pictures (basic)
32
∫ Focusing
•The focus range is 30 cm–¶ (Wide),
120 cm–¶ (Tele).
•If you press the shutter button fully without
prefocusing, 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 cannot
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 (P31) or prefocus (P72). In dark
places, the AF assist lamp (P73) 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.
•When jitter could occur, the jitter alert 1
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. (P31)
∫ Exposure
•If you press the shutter button halfway
when the exposure is not adequate, the
indication of the aperture value and the
shutter speed turns red. (However, the
aperture value and the shutter speed do
not turn red when the flash is activated.)
•The brightness of the screen may differ
from that of recorded pictures. In
particular, when taking pictures in dark
places with slow shutter speed, the
subject looks dark on the screen, but the
actual picture is bright.
•When most of the subjects in the screen
are bright (e.g. blue sky on a clear day,
snowy field, etc.), the recorded pictures
may become dark. In this case,
compensate the exposure value on the
camera. (P43)
