amount of vibration.

Flexible Spot AF
()
Focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area.
Flexible Spot AF lets you shoot in the desired image
composition.
• To set the Flexible Spot AF, see the following procedure.
• This is useful when you shoot using a tripod and the subject is
out of the center area.
• When shooting a moving subject, take care that the subject does
not deviate from the range finder frame.
Manual Focus
Focuses on the subject using a previously set distance to the
subject.
• To set distance, see page 40.
• When shooting a subject through a net or through window glass,
it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these
cases, the manual focus mode is convenient.
