Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you
envision, refer to the information below.

of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway. (p. 16)
● Set [AF Mode] (p. 39) to [Face/iESP]
● Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 39)

automatically to focus on it continuously.

is diffi cult

(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.

horizontal position to take the picture.
