NOTE
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.
• Auto Macro can be used when recording snapshots only.
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus,
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell
you the focus range, as shown below.
Example: oo cm to 9
* oo is the actual focusing range value.
• The operations assigned to the [
4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page
66) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.
Using Focus Lock
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want
to compose an image in which the subject you want to
focus on is not within the focus frame in the center of the
screen.
• To use focus lock, select “U Spot” or “O Tracking”
for the Auto Focus area (page 63).
1. Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with
the subject you want to focus on and then
half-press the shutter button.
2. Keeping the shutter button half-pressed
(which maintains the focus setting), move the
camera to compose the image.
• When “O Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus
area, the focus frame will move automatically and
follow the subject.
3. When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the
rest of the way down.
NOTE
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).
