focus frame stays sharp.

The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on. Touch and hold

the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is

taken when you release your finger.

The focus is automatically set on several areas of the image. Touch and hold the camera screen until the

yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The photo is taken when you release your

finger. Continuous autofocus is off.

Face detection

The camera automatically detects up to five human faces, indicated by frames on the screen. The

camera automatically focuses on the nearest face. You can also select which face to focus on by tapping

it on the screen. When you tap the camera screen, a blue frame shows which face is selected and in

focus. Face detection cannot be used for all scene types. Continuous autofocus is on.

Touch focus

Touch a specific area on the camera screen to set the area of focus. Continuous autofocus is off. Touch

and hold the camera screen until the yellow focus frame turns blue, indicating that the focus is set. The

photo is taken when you release your finger.
