Normal-area AF. This mode uses smaller focus zones, and so is best
n
suited for tripod-mounted images where the camera is held fairly steady.
The focus zone will be outlined in red. You can move the focus zone
around the screen with the multi selector buttons. When sharp focus is
achieved, the focus zone box will turn green.
Subject-tracking AF. This mode allows the camera to focus, and then
n
follow the subject as it moves within the frame. A white border appears in
the center of the frame, and turns yellow when focus is locked in. To acti-
vate focus or refocus, press the multi selector up button.
Manual focus. In this non-automatic focus mode, you can select the
n
focus zone to use with the multi selector buttons, press the shutter release
halfway, and then adjust focus manually by rotating the focus ring on the
lens. When sharp focus is achieved, the focus confirmation indicator on
the LCD will turn a steady green.
Adjusting White Balance and ISO
If you like, you can custom-tailor your white balance (color balance) and ISO
(sensitivity) settings. To start out, it's best to set white balance (WB) to Auto,
and ISO to ISO 200 for daylight photos, and ISO 400 for pictures in dimmer
light. You can adjust either one now by pressing the WB or ISO buttons on the
left side of the back of the camera, and rotating the main command dial until
the value you want appears on the top-panel LCD control panel. Rotating the
sub-command dial allows fine-tuning white balance, and toggling ISO Auto
on or off.
