Basic
1 Aim the AF area at the subject, and then press the shutter button halfway to fix the
focus and exposure.
2 Press and hold the shutter button halfway while moving the camera as you
compose the picture.
You can repeatedly retry the actions in step 1
before pressing the shutter button fully.
We recommend that you use the Face
Detection function when taking pictures of
people. (P134)
Subjects and recording conditions which are difficult to focus
Fast-moving subjects, extremely bright subjects or subjects without contrast
When the focus range display has appeared in red
When recording subjects through windows or near shiny objects
When it is dark or when jitter occurs
When the camera is too close to the subject or when taking a picture of both distant and near
subjects
When the jitter alert [ ] appears, use [STABILIZER] (P146), a tripod or the Self-timer
(P74).
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.
