• AF stands for Auto Focus.
• When you use Digital Zoom or AF illuminator, the AF range finder frame is disabled and appears in a
dotted line. In this case, the camera works to focus on the subjects at the center of the screen.
• You can change the focus method only when the [Face Detection] is set to [Off].
• You can select only [Multi AF] or [
] when shooting movies.
• The semi manual distance setting contains some error, and this error increases when the zoom is set to the
T side or the lens is tilted upward or downward.
z If the subject is out of focus
When shooting with the subject at the edge of the frame (or the screen), or when using [Center AF] or [Spot
AF], the camera may not focus on a subject at the edge of the frame.
In such cases, do as follows:
1 Recompose the shot so that the subject is centered in the AF range finder, and press the shutter
button halfway down to focus on the subject (AF lock).
As long as you do not press the shutter button fully down, you can retry the procedure as many
times as you want.
0.5 m Automatically focuses quickly on the area around a
previously set distance (Semi-manual).
• Focuses on a subject in all ranges of the finder frame in semi
manual mode.
• This mode is useful when repeatedly shooting a subject at the
same distance.
• Use “Semi manual” when it is difficult to get sharp focus with
automatic focusing, such as when shooting a subject through a
net or window.
