at least 1 second.
What is the camera focusing on?
i A target mark & on the monitor
shows the area the camera is
focusing on.
i The camera automatically
determines the correct focus by
measuring from 9 different focus
points within the shooting area. If the
target mark is at a position that is
different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for
example, by changing the shooting
angle.

the camera focuses on a wide area
in the center of the screen.
The focus and exposure can be locked (NORMAL mode)

you can set the autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When the
exposure setting is fixed, the P icon appears on the monitor; when the
autofocus setting is fixed, the p icon appears on the monitor.

that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the
camera shake icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to
stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to
automatic (pages 48 and 65).
