TAKING PICTURES
FOCUS LOCK
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the
focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation pre-
vents the camera from focusing on the subject.
Place the subject within the focus
frame or center the subject on the
LCD monitor. Press and hold the
shutter-release button partway
down. The green focus lamp will
glow to indicate that the focus is
locked.
FOCUS LAMP/NO FOCUS INDICATOR
This digital camera has a quick, accurate auto-
focusing system. When the shutter-release but-
ton is pressed partway down, the autofocus
system focuses on the subject in the viewfind-
er's focus frame and will maintain that setting
until the shutter button is released. The focus
lamp (green) will indicate the focus status
when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down.
Focus Lamp Steady
-
The camera is focused on the subject and the focus is locked.
Focus Lamp Blinking
-
The subject is too close or a special focusing situation is pre-
venting the autofocus system from locking on the subject.
Without lifting your finger,
recompose the subject within the
image frame. Press the shutter-
release button all the way down
to take the picture.

main subject, then recompose to take the picture.
