About Focusing -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The color of the frame in the center of the picture display indicates whether the subject
is in or out of focus.
It may be impossible to bring the following subjects into focus, or they may not be in
focus even when the frame color is green.
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions.
• Quickly moving objects.
• Things in poorly lit places.
• Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections.
• Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights.
When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance
as your subject and then shoot.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Press the shutter release button gently to prevent camera shake.
• The J symbol indicates that camera shake may occur. Hold the camera still and
focus the camera again. You can also turn on the camera shake correction function
to minimize blurring. (GP.117)
