the correct focus by measuring from 9

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 large target mark appears when
the camera focuses on a wide area in
the center of the screen.

the subject is successfully focused, or
