Focusing
You can determine whether an image is focused from the color of the focus area frame
that appears when you press the
REC button down halfway. The frame is green if the
image is focused and red if it is not.
If the exposure is incorrect, the ISO sensitivity, shutter speed and aperture are displayed
in red.
When the Camera Will not Focus...
• Set the [AF MODE] to [CENTER] ( p.90).
Next, move the camera so that the subject you want to photograph is in the center
of the shot. Then, holding down halfway the
REC button so that the focus is
set, recompose the shot as desired and press the REC button down fully.
• This camera may have difficulty auto focusing and be unable to focus due to the
following conditions.
• Where there are also objects behind or in front of the subject (as with an animal
behind bars or a person standing in front of a tree)
• Very glossy subjects such as a mirror or car body
• Objects with little or no reflectivity, such as fur or hair
• Subjects with very low contrast (such as a person wearing clothing of the same
color as the background)
• Subjects moving at high speed
• Subjects with no substance, such as flames or smoke
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that are small and far away
• Extremely bright subjects (such as lights, etc.)
