What is the camera focusing on?

i A target mark & on the monitor shows

the area the camera is focusing on.

i The camera automatically determines

the correct focus by measuring from 9
different focus points within the
shooting area. If the target mark is at a
position that is different from the point
you wish to focus on, you can refocus,
for example, by changing the shooting
angle.

i The large target mark appears when

the camera focuses on a wide area in
the center of the screen.

The shutter speed and aperture are
displayed

i When the camera focuses and the

target mark appears, at the same time,
the shutter speed and aperture
settings are also displayed. You can
use them as a reference when
shooting.

If the camera shake icon > appears...

i During still image shooting, if the

shutter speed is slow and the
possibility that the image may be
blurred due to camera shake becomes
high, the camera shake icon may
appear on the monitor. In this case,
use a tripod to stabilize the camera
when shooting, or set the flash
operation mode to automatic
(page 66).

i When shooting with the scene select

function set to the fireworks +
mode, the camera shake icon always
appears, but this is normal.
