When the focus mode (page 65) is set
to the 9-point focus mode B...
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 The shutter speed and aperture settings
are also displayed on the monitor. 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 52).
i When shooting with the fireworks ^ scene function, the motion alert icon
always appears, but this is normal.
