Shooting with Subject Eyes in Focus
● Subject eyes may not be detected correctly, depending on the subject
and shooting conditions.
● No frame is displayed around eyes unless the camera detects the
subject’s face or eyes.
● Eye Detection AF is not available when the AF method is set to
[
] or [ ], or when AF operation is set to [ ].
● Enabling [Eye Detection AF] disables [
Auto servo].
● You can also choose an eye by touching it on the screen, and you can
switch the focus to other eyes by pressing the
button.
Shooting with Servo AF
● The focus and exposure are maintained where the blue AF point is
displayed while you are pressing the shutter button halfway.
● The camera may not be able to shoot while focusing, even if you press
the shutter button all the way down. Keep holding down the shutter
button as you follow the subject.
● Exposure is not locked in Servo AF mode when you press the shutter
button halfway but is determined the moment you shoot, regardless of
the metering mode setting.
● Continuous shooting with auto focus is possible by specifying Servo
AF. Note that continuous shooting is slower at this time. Also note that
focus may be lost if you zoom in or out during continuous shooting.
● Depending on the lens used, the distance to the subject, and the
subject’s speed, the camera may not be able to achieve correct focus.
● If the camera cannot focus on subjects when you press the shutter
button halfway, an orange frame is displayed, and no picture is taken if
you press the shutter button all the way down.
● You can also congure Servo AF by choosing [
6] tab → [AF
operation].
Changing the Focus Setting
● Changing the Continuous AF setting has the following effect.
Enable
Helps avoid missing sudden photo opportunities, because
the camera constantly focuses on subjects until you press
the shutter button halfway.
Disable
Conserves battery power, because the camera does not
focus constantly. However, this may delay focusing.
● With Continuous AF disabled, you can touch subjects to select them
and set the focus there.
Choosing Subjects by Touch
● Tracking may not be possible when subjects are too small or move too
rapidly, or when there is inadequate contrast between subjects and the
background.
Flash
● [Built-in ash settings] can be reset to defaults. Choose [ 1] tab →
[Flash control] → [Clear settings] → [Clear built-in ash set.].
Changing the Flash Mode
● If the ash res, vignetting may occur. Firing the ash may also cause
vignetting or dark image areas with certain lenses.
● When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically adjusts
the shutter speed or ISO speed for ash shots to reduce washed-out
highlights and shoot at optimal exposure. Thus, shutter speeds and
ISO speeds displayed when you press the shutter button halfway may
not match the settings in ash shots.
● You can also congure this setting by choosing [
1] tab → [Flash
control] → [Flash ring].
● Auto ash [
]
- Fires automatically in low-light conditions.
● Flash on [
]
- Fires for each shot.
● Flash off [
]
- For shooting without the ash.
