Recording pictures (basic)

31

• When using the camera in a sandy or

dusty place, be careful not to let dirt,
grit or seawater come into the camera.

ª AF/AE Lock (AF: Auto focus/

AE: Auto exposure)

When recording a picture of people with
a composition as the above picture, you
cannot focus on the subject because it
is out of AF area in usual operation.

In this case,
1. Aim the AF area to the subject.
2. Press the shutter button halfway to fix

the focus and the exposure.
• When the subject is focused, the

focus indication lights.

3. Keep pressing the shutter button

halfway, move the camera as you
want to compose the picture.

4. Press the shutter button fully.

• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock

before pressing the shutter button.

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

• When brightness has changed due

to the zoom or the movement of the
camera, the lens may click and the
picture on the screen may be
drastically changed. However, the
pictures are not affected.
The sound is caused by automatic
adjustment of the aperture. It is not
a malfunction.

• When pressing the shutter button, the

screen may become bright or whitish
for a moment. However, the recorded
picture will not be influenced. This
function make it easy to adjust the
focus.

• We recommend setting the clock

again before taking pictures. (P19)

• When the time for power save is set

(P22), the camera is automatically
turned off if you do not operate within
the set time. When operating the
camera again, press the shutter button
or turn the camera off and on.

• When economy mode (P23) is set and

if you do not use the camera, the LCD
monitor turns off in 15 seconds. (The
LCD monitor turns on when pressing
any button.)
