OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Using Auto Focus
As its name suggests, Auto Focus focuses the image
automatically. The automatic focus operation starts when
you press the shutter button down half way. The following
is the Auto Focus range.
Range: Approximately 40cm to
∞
(1.3´ to
∞
)
1.
Keep pressing [ ] until there is no focus
mode indicator on the display.
2.
Compose the image
so the main subject is
within the focus
frame, and then press
the shutter button
half way.
• You can tell whether the
image is focused by
observing the focus
frame and the green
operation lamp.

NOTES
• When “Hybrid” is selected as the Auto Focus mode
(page 118), pressing the shutter button all the way
without pausing at the half-way point will perform
high-speed Auto Focus using the phase differential
sensor only. Note, however, that high-speed Auto
Focus is somewhat less reliable than the Auto Focus
operation performed when you press the shutter
button half way and pause.
• Except when you specifically need very fast focusing
and response, it is recommended that you normally
press the shutter button half way and wait for the
Auto Focus operation to complete before pressing
the shutter button the rest of the way down to record.
