you envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
"Focusing on the subject"
● Taking a picture of a subject not in the
center of the monitor
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. 10)
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 34) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 34)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
● Taking a picture of a shadowy subject
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing
easier. [AF Illuminat.] (p. 35)
● Taking a picture of subjects where
autofocus is diffi cult
In the following cases, after focusing on an
object (by pressing the shutter button halfway
down) with high contrast at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take
the picture.
