Autofocus
Use when the distance from the subject to the lens is 30 cm (1 ft) or more, or 7.0 m
(23 ft) or more at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
• The focus mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately
after the setting is made.
D
Macro close-up
Set when taking close-up pictures.
When the zoom ratio is set to a position where F and the zoom indicator are
displayed in green, the camera can focus on subjects as close as approximately
10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. When the zoom is at a position more wide-angled
than where G is displayed, the camera can focus on subjects as close as
approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.
B
Infinity
Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting
landscapes.
The camera automatically adjusts the focus near infinity.
• The camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects.

To press the shutter-release button “halfway” means to press
and hold the button at the point where you feel a slight
resistance.
• Focus and exposure (shutter speed and f-number) are set
when you press the shutter-release button halfway. Focus
and exposure remain locked while the button is pressed
halfway.
• The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Press all the
way
To press the shutter-release button “all the way” means to
press the button down completely.
• The shutter is released when the shutter-release button is
pressed all the way.
• Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release
button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred
images. Press the button gently.
