Basic recording
Focus lock
Place the subject within the focus frame. Press and hold the
shutter-release button partway down.
• The focus signals will indicate that the focus is locked. The
shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to
black indicating the exposure is locked.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor is displayed on the live
image to indicate the point of focus.
Without lifting your finger from the shutter-release button,
recompose the subject within the image area. Press the
shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
Automatic monitor amplification
In extremely low-light conditions when the camera-sensitivity gain has reached its limit, the automatic
monitor-amplification function will intensify the EVF and LCD monitor image. The live image will be
brighter. This will have no effect on the final image. This function can be turned off in section 3 of the
recording menu (p. 101).
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus lock
may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
