∫ When you want to take 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.
∫ Focusing
• The focus range is 30 cm (0.98 feet) to ¶
(Wide), 2 m (6.56 feet) to ¶ (Tele). Use
macro mode when recording close-up
pictures. (P51)
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
• In the following cases, the camera will not
focus on subjects properly.
– When there are both near and distant
subjects in a scene.
– When there is dirt or dust on glass
between the lens and the subject.
– When there are illuminated or glittering
objects around the subject.
– When taking a picture in dark places.
– 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
prefocus (P58) and AF/AE lock. In dark
places, the AF assist lamp (P82) may turn
on to focus on the subject.
• Even when the focus indication appears
and the subject is focused, it is canceled if
you release the shutter button. Press the
shutter button halfway again.
