Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you envision, refer to the
information below.

Focusing
Focusing on the subject.
• Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the monitor. g P. 38
After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose
the shot, and take the picture.
• Set [AF Mode] to [Face/iESP]. g P. 50
• Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode. g P. 50
The camera tracks the subject movement automatically to focus on it
continuously.
• Taking a picture of a shadowy subject. g P. 52
Using the AF illuminator makes focusing easier.
• Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult.
In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter
button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subject with low contrast Excessively bright light in
center of frame
Subject containing no
vertical lines *1
Subjects at different
distances *1
Fast-moving subject Subject not inside AF
area
*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to
focus, and then returning to the horizontal position to take the picture.
