Setting Guide (Auto Capture Edition)

Photos Not in Focus
The camera may have trouble focusing at some angles. Focus can be improved by photographing
subjects head-on.
Choosing a larger focus area so that the camera has more time to detect the subject before
shooting starts may also help improve focus.
If [Motion] or [Subject detection] is selected for [Capture criteria], focus the lens at the distance
at which the subject is likely to appear before initiating auto capture.
Focus can also be improved by enabling (M) [Distance] for [Capture criteria] to ensure that the
camera only responds to subjects within the specified range of distances.
Missed or Delayed Shots
When high-speed frame capture + is selected for release mode with Pre-Release Capture enabled
via Custom Setting d4 [Pre-Release Capture options], you can configure the camera to start
shooting moments before it detects the subject.
To prevent shooting ending abruptly when the camera loses track of the subject, choose a higher
value for [Timing options]> [Recording time selection].
Check to be sure the AF area is not too small. Choosing a larger focus area so that the camera has
more time to detect the subject before shooting starts may also help improve focus.
Frame-Advance Rate Too High
If you don’t need to take a lot of photos in quick succession, choose continuous low-speed release
mode and adjust the frame advance rate. You can reduce the number of photos taken by choosing a
frame advance rate of 1fps, selecting [1s] for [Timing options]> [Recording time selection], and
specifying a wait time using [Wait after shooting].
