Tips before you start taking pictures
3
Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose
your shot.
4
Press the shutter button fully.
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly.
If this happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), 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, then return the
camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take
the picture.
TIPS
Focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
