The camera can focus automatically. All you have to do is point it, and whatever
is in the centre of the screen will usually be in sharp focus.
It also has three functions which give you more control over focusing.
FlexiZone AF makes autofocus much more powerful. Using the FlexiZone
controller you can select any object that appears in the screen, and the camera
will bring it into focus. Choose the FlexiZone Recording program when you want
to use FlexiZone AF.
FlexiZone AF is useful in the following situations:
When your main subject is not in the centre of the screen
When you want to shoot a moving subject
It also makes it easy to use "focus shift" techniques. You can
direct the viewer's attention by focusing first on one part of the
scene, and then on another.
1. Turn the program selector to O.
• The FlexiZone Control frame appears in the screen.
2. Use the FlexiZone controller to move the frame over the subject.
• The controller can he moved in any direction. Press it repeatedly to move
the frame little by little. Press and hold to move the frame quickly.
• The camera adjusts the focus to suit the area inside the frame.
• When you zoom into the digital range, the FlexiZone frame becomes locked
in the centre of the screen. Zoom back out from digital to optical, and the
frame blinks twice, signaling that you are again free to move the frame
around the screen.
