for
auto-focus
~-----
Focus
detection
zone
Note:
•The
rectangular
focus
area,
al-
ways
shown
by
the
indicators
in
the
center
of
the
viewfinder,
detects
focus.
•Do
not
Delete
the
focus
detection
zone
on
the
vi
ewfinder
screen.
Correct
focus may
not
be
obtained
in
the
following
situations. In such cases focus look
should
be
engaged
to
obtain
proper
focus. (See page
13).
Note:
Two
subjects
at
different
distances
overlap in
the
same scene.
The
subject has
no
contrast
(dif-
ferences in brightness
and
darkness),
such as a flat, one-color wall,
or
a
clear, blue sky, for instance.
A
dark
object
is
barely visible in
the
viewfinder.
•If
the
lens
is
smeared
with
stains
or
blurred
with
condensation,
accurate
focusing
is
not
possible.
Keep it clean.
If
it
becomes
dirty,
wipe
with
a piece
of
soft
cloth.
When
condensation
occurs,
dry
it
by
wiping
with
a
sof
t
cloth
or
wait
for
conditions
in
which
they
become
dry.
Macro
shot
The
new
auto
-focus sy5tem
can
offer
continuous
shooting ability
from
close-up
to
infinity. With
wide
angle,
the
subject
can
be right
up
to
the
front
of
the
lens.
•Perform
macro
shooting
in
the
Zoom-out
mode.
When
operating
in
the
Zoom
mode,
zoom
auto
-
matically shifts
to
wide angle
with
the
Focus Lock
mode
indicator
blinking, and
then
focus
adjustment
is
made.
This
process requires a
few
seconds.
•For
best results, increase illumination when
shoot-
ing in
the
Macro
mode.
