There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.
When the subject is not in the center of the frame
• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then
recompose your picture.
• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].
g
”AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 24)
The subject is moving quickly
• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want
to shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose
your picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters the frame.
• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp
on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.
In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same
distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the
picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus
the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway,
and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button
pressed halfway and take the picture.
Be sure to hold the camera firmly with both hands and press the shutter button slowly so as to avoid
moving the camera. To stabilize the digital image, take pictures with

pressed.
The digital images are not stabilized when:
• images are shot at a high-magnification zoom setting, i.e. using both optical zoom and
digital zoom functions,
• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or
• scene modes where the flash is turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.
