Focusing

This camera uses autofocus to focus automatically when shooting. The focus area varies
depending on the shooting mode. Here, we will explain how to use focus areas and focus
lock.

AF Area

When using A (auto) mode, or when using Scene auto selector for the scene mode, the
camera performs the focus operations described below when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
• If a face is detected, it is framed by the double border
indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in
focus, the double border turns green.
• If no faces are detected, the camera automatically selects
one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject
closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the
active focus areas (up to nine) glow green.
