ª Focusing
The focus range is 60 cm– (AF). It is
30 cm– (AF-Macro/MF).
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.
When the subject is focused, the
camera beeps 2 times. If not, it beeps
4times.
If the camera will not focus after a few
tries, turn it off and on and try again.
Refer to P24 if you want to turn the
operational sound off.
In the following cases, you cannot
focus on the subject with auto focus
adequately.
–When including both near and
distant subjects in a scene
–When there is a dirt 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 moves fast
–When the scene is poor in contrast
–When jitter occurs
–When recording a very bright subject
We recommend taking pictures using
manual focus (P40) or AF/AE lock
(P38).
Even if the focus indication appears
and the subject is focused, it is
cancelled when you press the shutter
button. Press the shutter button
halfway again.
ª Jitter (Camera shake)
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. (P37)
Be careful of jittering when pressing
the shutter button.
ª Care for the camera
Check to make sure there is no stain
or dirt on the lens.
Do not touch the lens directly.
Do not cause impact to the lens.
Take care not to touch or stain the
surface of the lens. When the lens
becomes dirty or dust attaches to the
lens, use a commercial blower brush
to remove dust or dirt and wipe the
lens with a dry, soft cloth. If you use
solvents such as benzine, alcohol or
thinner, the camera may be
discoloured or broken.
When using the camera in a sandy or
dusty place, be careful not to let dirt,
grit or seawater come into the camera.
