PRO FOCUS MODE
PRO FOCUS MODE
The camera takes up to three shots when the
shutter-release button is pressed, softening the
background to emphasize the main subject for
results on par with single-lens refl ex cameras.
The amount of softening can be adjusted before
shooting by rotating command dial.
a
Note
Background objects that are too close to the main sub-
ject will not be softened. If a message stating that the
camera is unable to create the eff ect is displayed when
the camera focuses, try backing away from your sub-
ject and increasing zoom. The camera may also be un-
able to soften the background if the subject is moving;
if prompted, check the results and try again.
c
Cautions
• Hold the camera steady during shooting.
• Frame coverage is reduced in this mode.

A single exposure may not be created with some
scenes if the subject or camera moves during shooting.
Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
