Shooting basics
3 Position the AF target mark on
the subject while looking at the
image on the monitor.
4 Take the picture by following
the same procedure as for
shooting using the viewfinder.
g“Taking still pictures using the
viewfinder” (P.63)
• When the focus is locked by
pressing the shutter button halfway,
the green lamp on the monitor lights
steadily. The AF target mark moves
to the focused position. If you
cannot focus on the subject, select SPOT for the AF mode and then
shoot. g“AF MODE - Changing the focus range” (P.91)
• # lights when the flash fires.
TIPS
The monitor turned off.
→ If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off
automatically. Touch the shutter button or zoom lever to turn the
monitor on.
The monitor is hard to see.
→ Bright light, such as direct sunlight, may cause vertical lines to
appear on the monitor screen. In this case, use the viewfinder.
To check the area the camera is
focusing on
→ If you press f while pressing the
shutter button halfway, the area you
are focusing on is enlarged. Pressing
f once more returns the size to
normal. This function is not available
in the digital zoom range.
