The camera turns on and is ready to take still pictures. In this manual,
this is called A mode (Capture mode).

The camera will automatically focus on the area within the focus frame.
You can change the captured area by pressing the Zoom button.
x : enlarges the subject
w : widens the area captured by the camera

halfway.
The color of the focus frame indicates whether
the camera focuses clearly on the subject or not.
Green : The subject is in focus.
Red : The subject is out of focus.

When the [= mode] is set to (Continuous) on the [A Rec.
Mode] menu (p.69), the focus frame turns green if the subject is in
focus, and the focus frame remains white even if the subject is out
of focus.
