FOCUS LOCK(Fig.8)
For normal recording, aim at the subject using the
entire viewfinder area. To focus, position the subject
within the bracket-lined center area of ( ) located at
the center of the viewfinder. If the subject to record
is not in the center of the viewfinder, position the
subject so that it falls within the focus frame and
lightly press the shutter button (halfway). While
continuing to hold the shutter button down lightly
(halfway), re-position the subject for the desired
composition and gently press the shutter button
down completely to record the image.
Automatic exposure (AE) is locked at the same
time as focus lock.
Do not change the shooting distance.
Focus lock will be released if the finger is removed
from the shutter release button before taking
picture.
The auto-focus may not operate properly with
some kinds of dark/gray objects, reflective or light-
emitting objects, very small objects or when there
are obstructions such as rain, mist or smoke. In
such cases, set the focus lock by aiming the
camera at another object of similar brightness at
about the same distance.
When taking pictures through a glass window, the
auto-focus mechanism may not focus properly
because of reflections. For landscape photos
through a window, use landscape mode.
