SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
Some scenes or subjects are difficult for the
autofocus system to lock on to. When the focus will
not lock, FOCUS HOLD on another object the
same distance from you as your main subject,
recompose, then press the shutter-release button
all-the-way down to take the picture.
FOCUS HOLD
Subjects outside the focus frame or LCD monitor center may not be in focus. Use
focus hold to ensure accurate focusing.
Place the focus frame on your
subject or center the subject in
the LCD monitor, then press and
hold the shutter-release button
partway down so the green focus
lamp glows.
Without lifting your finger,
recompose the picture, then
press the shutter-release button
all-the-way down to take the
picture.
Very bright or low contrast
fills the focus frame.
Alternating light and
dark lines fill the focus
frame.
Two subjects overlap in
the focus frame.
Subject is near very
bright object or area.
FOCUS
The Zoom 1500 and Wide 1500 lens units have a precise, high-speed
autofocusing system, just like those found in quality compact cameras.
When the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down, the autofocus system locks
focus at the subject distance. The focus lamp
will indicate the focus status when the
shutter-release button is pressed partway
down.
