∫ AF/AE Lock (AF: Auto focus/
AE: Auto exposure)
When recording a picture of people with a
composition as the above picture, you
cannot focus on the subject because it is
out of AF area in usual operation.
In this case,
1 Aim the AF area at the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway to fix
the focus and the exposure.
• When the subject is focused, the focus
indication lights.
3 Keeping the focus and the exposure
fixed, move the camera as you compose
the picture.
4 Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button fully.

To take pictures without blurring:
• Hold the camera gently with both hands,
keep arms stationary at your side and
stand with your feet slightly apart.

occur when you press the shutter button.
• Do not cover the photo flash with your
finger or other objects.
• Do not touch the front of the lens.

• Especially in the following cases, the
shutter speed will be slower. Keep the
camera still from the moment you press
the shutter button until the picture appears

tripod.
