Prefocus
This is a technique for focusing in advance
on the point the pictures will be taken when
it is difficult to focus on the subject with
auto focus due to its quick motion. [e.g.
[PANNING] (P64) in scene mode]
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
Changing the zoom area
The magnified area can be changed while
the screen is expanded using MF Assist.
This is convenient when you want to
change the focus position to take pictures.
1 Display MF Assist with 3/4 on the
joystick.
2 Change the expanded area with the
cursor buttons 3/4/2/1.
•The expansion is canceled after
approximately 2 seconds.
•The following will return the AF area to the
original position.
–Switching the focus to [AF] or
[AF MACRO].
–Changing the picture size or aspect.
–Turning the camera off.
•You can also record with manual focus in
motion picture mode [ ]. However the
focus is fixed while recording motion
pictures.
•If you focus on the subject in Wide and
then rotate the zoom lever to Tele, the
focus may not be adequate. In this case,
focus on the subject again.
•You cannot set continuous AF (P84) when
manual focus is set.
•The MF assistance screen does not
appear when using the digital zoom.
•The distance to the subject displayed on
the screen in manual focus is an
approximation of the focus position.
Remember that the distance is an
approximation when taking a picture.
•Use the assistance screen for a final
check of the focus.
•After canceling power save mode, focus
on the subject again.
