The camera displays [Starry Sky AF is Running] during starry sky AF. The in-focus indicator
(N) is displayed for about two seconds after the camera focuses; if the camera is unable to
focus, the in-focus indicator will instead flash for about two seconds.
Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

[Speed]. Mount the camera on a tripod before taking photographs with [Accuracy] selected.

25-target group (5 × 5).
The camera will not be able to focus in bright locations.

be released even when the subject is not in focus.
Manual focus is selected when a Four Thirds lens is attached.
