AF Frames
What if...
•
a flashing appears?
Attach the camera to a tripod so that the camera does not move and blur the
image.
•
the camera does not play any sounds?
Pressing the l button while turning on the camera power will turn off all
sounds except for warning sounds. To turn the sounds on, press the n
button, choose the 3 tab, and then choose [Mute]. Use the qr buttons to
choose [Off].
Focus.
●
Press the shutter button halfway to focus.
When the camera focuses, it will beep
twice and the indicator will light green
(orange when the flash will fire).
Green AF frames appear where the
subject is in focus.
Several AF frames will appear when the
camera focuses on more than one point.
When a moving face is detected, and you
keep the shutter button pressed halfway,
a blue AF frame appears and the focus
and exposure are continuously adjusted.
Shoot.
●
Press the shutter button fully.
The camera will play the shutter sound
and shoot. The flash will automatically fire
in low light conditions.
The indicator will blink green while the
image is recorded to the memory card.
The image will appear on the screen for
about two seconds.
●
You can take a second picture even while
an image is displayed by pressing the
shutter button again.
