Using Focus Lock
Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the
center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by
pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can
also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low
contrast situations.
1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.
2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and
exposure.
3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you
re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.
4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
Using Zoom
NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture,
the more even small movements of the camera are
magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially
at full telephoto zoom (3x), you must hold the camera
steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry. If an
icon of a shaking hand ( ) appears in the
Live View
screen, you should set the camera on a tripod or stable
surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
Optical Zoom
NOTE Optical zoom is disabled while recording
video clips.
Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera,
with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make
the subject of your picture appear closer.
