Using Flexible Spot AF
You can change the focus method. Use the menu when it is difficult to get the proper focus in
auto focus mode.
AF stands for “Auto Focus,” a function that adjusts the focus automatically.
The selected AF range finder frame appears on the screen.
1. Set the Zoom/Focus switch to AF/ZOOM.
2.
Press the FOCUS button.
3.
Select the desired mode on the control button.
(Multi
AF)
Focuses on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame automatically.
When you press the shutter button halfway down in still image shooting mode,
a green frame is displayed around the area that is in focus.
When the Face Detection function is active, AF operates with priority on
faces.
(Center
AF)
Focuses on a subject in the center of the finder frame automatically. Using the
AF lock function together, you can compose the image the way you want.
(Flexible
Spot AF)
Allows you to move the AF range finder frame to the desired point on the LCD
screen and focus on an extremely small subject in a narrow area.
Notes
When you use [Digital Zoom] or [AF Illuminator], the AF range finder frame is disabled and
appears in a dotted line. In this case, the camera works to focus on the subjects at the
center of the screen.
