Advanced Settings

NOTE

• ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed do not appear on the monitor screen

when you half-press the shutter button while “Auto” is selected. These values will
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after
you shoot a snapshot.

• If the flash fires, the Anti Shake icon S will remain on the display, even though

Anti Shake does not function during flash photography.

• The ISO sensitivity setting (page 66) must be “Auto” for Anti Shake to work.
• Shooting with Anti Shake can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser than

normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.

• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement

when movement is severe.

• Anti Shake is disabled during movie recording.

Procedure

[r] (REC) * [SET] * MENU * REC Tab * AF Area

IMPORTANT!

• Auto Focus is disabled when W (Manual Focus) is selected for the focus mode

(page 57), even if you select an AF area.

• Selecting “O

Tracking” can cause vibration and noise to occur due to lens

operation while tracking a subject. This does not indicate malfunction.

• While Face Detection (page 41) is turned on, regardless of the current AF Area

setting, “U Spot” (center) focusing will be used automatically whenever a face
cannot be detected for some reason.

Specifying the Auto Focus Area (AF Area)

the camera will select the optimum Auto Focus area from among
nine possible areas. The focus frame of the area where the
camera focuses will be displayed in green.

Half-pressing the shutter button focuses on the subject and
