U Spot-focusing:
The camera focuses on the limited
and narrow area in the screen.
n About 1-area-focusing (High speed)
and 3-area-focusing (High speed)
• You can focus on the subject more quickly
than other AF modes.
• 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.
• 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.
• Switch the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode
(High speed) or 1-area-focusing mode if it is
difficult to focus using Spot-focusing mode.
• You cannot change the AF mode setting
when using [SELF PORTRAIT] and
[FIREWORKS] in scene mode (P61).
• This is fixed to 1-area-focusing in Auto
mode [0].
