Changing the focus set by autofocus [U
In autofocus mode the camera focuses on the subject with the
highest contrast. If several high contrast subjects are within the
autofocus area, only one of them may be in focus. To focus on
other subjects, press the POWER FOCUS buttons and adjust
the focus. This may also be done in cases where the subject is
a continuous line and you wish to focus on a particular spot. A
sharper focus can be obtained.
After the autofocus has been set to focus automatically, press
the F or N POWER FOCUS buttons to bring a desired subject
into sharp focus.
•Press F to focus on far subjects.
•Press N to focus on near subjects.
During this time, autofocus does not operate temporarily but
resumes operation when the POWER FOCUS buttons are
released.

Notes:
•Dirt or dust on the surface of the lens may affect autofocus
performance. Clean the lens periodically to maintain optimum
autofocus performance.
•Sharp focusing may be difficult if the subject in the autofocus
zone is small. The subject should fill the autofocus zone
where possible.
