About [[!;!]
• You can focus on the subject more quickly than other AF modes.
• The picture may stop moving for a moment before being brought into focus when you press the
shutter button halfway. This is not a malfunction.
oNote
• The camera is focusing on all the AF areas when multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas) light at the same time.
If you want to determine the focus position to take pictures, switch the AF mode to [~] or [~].
• If the AF mode is set to [~], the AF area is not displayed until the picture is brought into focus.
• The camera may detect subjects other than a person as the face.
In this case, switch the AF
mode to any modes other than
[~] and then take a picture.
• The AF mode cannot be set in [FIREWORKS] in scene mode.
