To set the lens manually
A few special situations
call
for
setting the lens manually:
When
shooting straight-on through
glass, the sound waves will not
reach
your subject. The lens will
focus
on the glass and
your pic-
ture may be unsharp. Screens
or
bars could
cause
the same result.
When
shooting at
an angle
toward
a flat, smooth surface
(glass en-
closed
art,
wall hanging
,
etc.)
,
the sound waves may reflect
away
from the
camera
and your picture
may be unsharp.
Before
shooting in these situations
,
lightly squeeze the shutter button
partway and hold it there. If
your
28
subject appears
unsharp in the
viewfinder,
set the lens
manually.
To set the lens manually:
Press
the bottom
of
the focus
switch (A).
Then use the focus wheel
(8) as
described

the
opposite
page.

To
