Checking the focus
You can focus with the following methods.
• AF (Auto Focus) : The camera is focused when the shutter release button is
pressed halfway.
• MF (Manual Focus) : Manually adjust the focus.
Using Autofocus
You can choose the autofocus mode from SAF (Single mode) where the shutter
release button is pressed halfway to focus on the subject and the focus is locked
at that position, and CAF (Continuous mode) where the subject is kept in focus
by continuous adjustment while the shutter release button is pressed halfway.
1. Set the focus mode lever to SAF or CAF.
2. Look through the viewfi nder and press the
shutter release button halfway.
The focus indicator ( ) appears in the
viewfi nder when focused (if focus indicator
(
) is blinking, the subject is not in focus).
● The camera can be focused by pressing the AF button.
● In SAF (Single mode), the focus is locked (focus lock) while
focus
indicator ( ) is lit. To focus on another subject, take your fi nger off the
shutter release button fi rst.
● In CAF (Continuous mode), focus is adjusted continuously, tracking
the moving object as long as the shutter release button is kept pressed
halfway.
● The shutter cannot be released until the subject is in focus in SAF (Single
mode). If the subject is too close to the camera, move back and take the
picture. Adjust the focus manually if the subject is diffi cult to focus.
● If you try to focus on your subject in a too dark place, multiple fl ash fi res
simultaneously on half shutter. (You need to pop up the built-in fl ash and
set the auto focusing mode to SAF (Single mode) before shooting.)
● Use the matte fi eld in the viewfi nder when the subject is diffi cult to focus
and the focus indicator will not stay lit.
