Continuous Af [Cont.af] - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ15 Operating Instructions Manual

• When setting to 3-area-focusing, pictures
may become still while being focused on,
however, this is not a malfunction.
• When using the digital zoom or when you
take pictures in dark places, the AF area
is displayed on the center of the screen
with a size wider than usual.
• When multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas)
light at the same time, the camera is
focusing on all the AF areas.
The focus position is not predetermined
because it is set to the position the
camera automatically determines at the
time of focusing. If you want to determine
the focus position to take pictures, switch
the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode.
