What is the camera focusing on?
i
A target mark
&
on the monitor
shows the area the camera is
focusing on.
i
The camera automatically
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.

the camera focuses on a wide area
in the center of the screen.

p
icon appears on the monitor.

camera shake icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to
