Histogram display
Displays a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image. The horizontal axis
gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number of pixels of each brightness in the image.
Areas above the upper limit at shooting are displayed in red, those below the lower limit in
blue, and the area metered using spot metering in green.
Focus lock
If the camera is unable to focus on your chosen subject, select single target mode and use
focus lock to focus on another subject at about the same distance.
1
In [S-AF] mode, position the AF target over the subject and press the
shutter button halfway.
• Check that the AF target mark has turned green.
• Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway.
2
Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, recompose the photograph
and then press the shutter button the rest of the way down.
• Do not change the distance between the camera and the subject while pressing the
shutter button halfway.
% Tips
• If the camera is unable to focus on the subject even when using focus lock, use P (AF
target). g “Choosing a focus target (AF target)” (P. 26)
