When you want to take a picture of a
subject outside the AF area ( AF/AE
Lock)
When recording a picture of people with a
composition like the following picture, you
will not be able to focus the camera on the
subject because the people are outside the
AF area.
In this case,
Aim the AF area at the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to
fi x the focus and the exposure.
The focus indication lights when the
subject is focused.
Press and hold the shutter button
halfway while moving the camera as
you compose the picture.
Press the shutter button fully.
You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock
before pressing the shutter button fully.
Direction detection function
If you take pictures by holding the camera
vertically, the information of the rotation
on the pictures is automatically added and
recorded to the pictures.
When [ROTATE DISP.] ( P81 ) 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.
This function may not work properly on
pictures recorded by aiming the camera
up or down.
Motion pictures taken with the camera
held vertically are not displayed vertically.

Preventing jitter (camera shake)
Be careful of jittering when pressing the
shutter button.
The jitter alert 1 appears when the
shutter speed is slow and the chances of
blurring are greater.

When the jitter alert appears, use a tripod
for best results. By combining the use of
a tripod with the self-timer ( P43 ), you can
avoid blurring caused when you press
the shutter button.
Shutter speed will be slower particularly
in the following cases. Keep the camera
still from the moment the shutter button is
pressed until the picture appears on the
screen. We recommend using a tripod.
