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] (P61) in scene mode]
This function is suitable when the distance
between the camera and the subject is
certain.
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 (P81) 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.
Scene Mode
When you select a scene mode to match
the subject and recording situation, the
camera sets the optimal exposure and hue
to obtain the desired picture.
Refer to P59 to 65 for each scene menu.
1 Press 3/4 to select the scene
mode.
Press 4 at A to switch to the next
menu screen.
If [SCENE MODE] menu does not
appear, press [MENU/SET] to display
the [SCENE MODE] menu.
When you press 1, explanations about
each scene mode are displayed. (When
you press 2, the screen returns to the
[SCENE MODE] menu.)
2 Press [MENU/SET].
