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.
i The large target mark appears when
the camera focuses on a wide area in
the center of the screen.
About the focus indicator
i A green focus indicator appears when
the subject is successfully focused, or a
red focus indicator when the camera
was not able to focus the subject.
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed
i When the camera focuses and the target
mark appears, at the same time, the
shutter speed and aperture settings are
also displayed. You can use them as a
reference when shooting.
If the motion alert icon appears...
i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility
that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the
motion alert 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 (page 48).
i When shooting with the scene function set to the fireworks ^ mode, the
motion alert icon always appears, but this is normal.
