RECORDING MODE - BASIC OPERATION
FOCUS LOCK
The focus-lock function is used when you want to compose the image with the
subject off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock may also be used
when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the
subject. This function is controlled with the shutter release button.
Place the subject within the monitor focus frame or center the subject in the
viewfinder. Press and hold the shutter release button partway down to lock
the focus.
The focus signal on the monitor and the
green viewfinder indicator lamp will indicate
that the focus is locked.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter
release button, recompose the subject
within the image area. Press the shutter
release button all the way down to take the
picture.
FOCUS RANGE
The focus range is 10 cm (4 in.) to infinity. Both the LCD monitor and
viewfinder can be used to frame the subject. However, because of parallax,
only the monitor’s live image will be accurate with subjects closer than 1 m
(3 ft.) at the zoom lens’ wide-angle position or 3 m (10 ft.) at the telephoto
position.
