There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.
When the subject is not in the center of the frame
• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then
recompose your picture.
g
“Shutter button Shooting pictures/Recording movies” (P. 11)
The subject is moving quickly
• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to
shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway); and then recompose your picture and wait
for the subject to enter the frame.
• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus.
In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as
the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has
no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock
function by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the
horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.
Hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently to shoot the picture. In
addition, blurring is reduced when taking pictures in the
h
mode.

Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 13)
The factors that can cause the picture to blur are as follows:
• When you zoom at a high magnification to shoot the picture
• When the shutter speed is set low to shoot a dark subject
• When the flash cannot be used or a low shutter speed set
f
mode is selected.
The flash fires automatically when insufficient light is available and may cause your image
to be blurry.
When taking pictures in low lights without the flash, set the flash mode to [
$
] (flash off), then
increase the ISO sensitivity.
