determines the correct focus by
measuring from 9 different focus
points within the shooting area. If the
target mark is at a position that is
different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for
example, by changing the shooting
angle.

set the autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When the exposure
setting is fixed, the
P
icon appears on the monitor; when the autofocus
setting is fixed, the

stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to
automatic (page 77).
