n High speed AF (H) mode
• When you select 3-area-focusing (high
speed) or 1-area-focusing (high speed),
the auto focus is activated in high speed
and you can focus on the subject more
quickly.
• Pictures may become still in the condition
they were in before the subject was
focused when you press the shutter
button halfway. However, it is not a
malfunction. If you do not want to make
pictures still during the auto focus, use the
AF mode other than 3-area-focusing (high
speed) mode and 1-area-focusing (high
speed) mode.
• When using the digital zoom or when you
take pictures in dark places, the AF area
is displayed on the centre of the screen
with a size wider than usual.
• When multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas)
light at the same time, the camera is
focusing on all the AF areas.
The focus position is not predetermined
because it is set to the position the
camera automatically determines at the
time of focusing. If you want to determine
the focus position to take pictures, switch
the AF mode to 1-area-focusing, 1-area-
focusing (high speed) or Spot-focusing
mode.
• You cannot change the AF mode setting
when using [FIREWORKS] or [SELF
PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P60).
• This is fixed to 1-area-focusing in Auto
mode [0].
