• If the image does not focus...
If the focus frame stays red and the back lamp is flashing green, it means that the
image is not in focus (because the subject is too close, etc.). Re-point the camera at
the subject and try to focus again.
• If the subject is not in the center of the frame...
“Focus lock” (page 52) is the name of a technique you can use when you want to
shoot an image in which the subject to be focused on is not within the focus frame in
the center of the screen.
• To track the movement of a moving subject
Half-press the shutter button to follow and focus automatically on a moving subject.
See “
Tracking” (page 55) for more information.
When you half-press the shutter button, the
camera automatically adjusts exposure and
focuses on the subject it is currently pointed
at. Mastering how much pressure is required
for a half-press and a full-press of the shutter
button is an important technique for good-
looking images.
• The focus frame in the screen shots
included in this manual is shown at .
Note that you can change the form of the
focus frame, if you want (page 53).
