High speed AF (H) mode
• When you select 3-area-focusing (High
speed) or 1-area-focusing (High speed),
the auto focus is activated in high speed
and you can focus on the subject more
quickly.
• When you press the shutter button
halfway, a picture may become still for a
moment in the condition before being
focused. However, it is not a malfunction.
If you do not want to make pictures still
during the auto focus, use the AF mode
other than 3-area-focusing (High speed)
mode and 1-area-focusing (High speed)
mode.
• When using the digital zoom or when you
take pictures in dark places, the AF area
is displayed on the center of the screen
with a size wider than usual.
• When multiple AF areas (max. 5 areas)
light at the same time, the camera is
focusing on all the AF areas.
The focus position is not predetermined
because it is set to the position that the
camera automatically determines at the
time of focusing. If you want to determine
the focus position to take pictures, switch
the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode or
Spot-focusing mode.
• You cannot set the AF mode in
[FIREWORKS] and [SELF PORTRAIT] in
scene mode. (P54)
Illuminating the subject with the AF assist
lamp allows the camera to focus on the
subject in low light conditions.
When you press the
shutter button halfway in
dark places or other
situations, an AF area
wider than usual appears
and the AF assist lamp
A
turns on.
