∫ Focusing
• The focus range is 50 cm (1.64 feet) –¶.
• When you press the shutter button fully
with one stroke, pictures may be blurry or
unfocused.
• When the focus indication is blinking, the
subject is not focused. Press the shutter
button halfway and focus on the subject
again.
• If the camera will not focus after a few
tries, turn it off and on and try again.
• In the following cases, the camera cannot
focus on subjects properly.
– When including both near and distant
subjects in a scene.
– When there is dirt or dust on the glass
between the lens and the subject.
– When there are illuminated or glittering
objects around the subject.
– When taking a picture in a dark place.
– When the subject is moving fast.
– When the scene has low contrast.
– When jitter occurs.
– When recording a very bright subject.
We recommend taking pictures using
AF/AE lock (P32).
• Even if the focus indication appears and
the subject is focused, it is canceled when
you release the shutter button. Press the
shutter button halfway again.
∫ Jitter (camera shake)
• Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button, especially when fully
zoomed into the subject.
• When jitter could occur because of slow
shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod. If you cannot
use a tripod, be careful of how you hold
the camera. (P32)
∫ Direction detection function
• If you take pictures by holding the camera
vertically, the information of the rotation on
the pictures are automatically added and
recorded to the pictures.
When [ROTATE DISP.] (P71) is set to
[ON], you can rotate and display pictures
on the screen or the TV according to the
information of the rotation on the pictures.
• When you take pictures by holding the
camera vertically, read “Tips for taking
good pictures” on P32 carefully.
• This function may not work properly on
pictures recorded by aiming the camera
up or down.
• In motion image mode [ ], you cannot
use the direction detection function.
