ADVANCED SETTINGS
Using Fixed Focus (Pan Focus)
Pan Focus (PF) fixes focus for a relatively wide focus range,
which means you can shoot without waiting for the Auto Focus
operation to finish.
1. When you are ready to shoot, press the
shutter button all the way, without pausing.
Using Infinity Focus
As its name suggests, Infinity Focus fixes focus at infinity ( ).
Use this mode when shooting scenery and other faraway
subjects. Infinity Focus also comes in handy when shooting from
a car or train window, or when shooting scenery or other
subjects that are difficult to focus properly with Auto Focus.
1. While Infinity Focus is selected as the focus
mode, press the shutter button to shoot.
Using Manual Focus
With Manual Focus, the camera
automatically enlarges the
subject on the monitor screen,
which helps you manually adjust
focus. Manual focus can be used
for shoot such images as moving
trains. Before the train arrives,
manually focus on an electric
pole or some other object. Then
when the train passes the object
you focused on, you can shoot
without worrying about focus.
1. While Manual focus is selected as the focus
mode, compose the image on the monitor
screen so the subject you want to focus on is
within the yellow boundary.
