SOPHISTICATED FUNCTIONS
Autofocus
There are certain conditions where the autofocus may not work properly even
when the Green lamp lights when the Shutter release button is pressed
halfway. When this happens, try the procedure below or use Manual focus.
1
Subjects with low contrast
Lock the focus on an object that is at the same
distance from the camera as the subject, then aim at
the subject to take the picture.
2
Subjects with no vertical lines
Lock the focus on the subject by holding the camera
vertically, then change it to the horizontal position to
take the picture.
3
Subjects in excessively bright light
Lock the focus on an object that is at the same
distance from the camera as the subject, then aim at
the subject to take the picture.
4
Subjects at different distances
Lock the focus on an object that is at the same
distance from the camera as the subject, then aim at
the subject to take the picture.
5
Fast-moving subjects at close distances
Lock the focus on an object that is at the same
distance from the camera as the subject, then aim at
the subject to take the picture.
Focus lock
Position your subject within the autofocus marks, and press the Shutter
release button halfway. Recompose the picture while keeping the Shutter
release button pressed halfway. Press the Shutter release button fully to take
the picture.
AE lock
You can take a picture of a subject with a different exposure than that set with
focus lock. While keeping the Shutter release button pressed halfway,
recompose the picture and press the OK button. The exposure is metered
and stored in memory. If the OK button is pressed again, the new exposure is
stored in memory. If the Shutter release button is not released after being
pressed halfway, a new exposure will be stored in memory with each press of
the OK button.
