About Auto Focus - Casio Exilim EX-Z600 User Manual

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
• When recording a dimly lit subject while "Auto" is selected
for the ISO sensitivity setting (page 115), the camera
increases sensitivity and uses a faster shutter speed.
Because of this, you need to guard against camera
movement if you have flash turned off
• Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to
appear "washed out". This tends to happen when
recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect
against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from
the light.

necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in
focus.

some reason, try using focus lock (page 80) or manual
focus (page 79).
