of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 16)
●
Set [AF MODE] (p. 34) to [FACE/iESP]
●
Taking a picture in [AF TRACKING] mode

(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.

Shooting movies using [IS MOVIE MODE]
(p. 36)

Select C (SPORT) in the scene mode (p. 24)
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.

Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can
be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations
where a fl ash cannot be used.
