STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS FOCUSING (DISTANCE) The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance. When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused. ■ Three focusing methods There are mechanisms for focusing: (1) Single AF (S-AF); (2) Continuous AF (C-AF); and (3) Manual focus (MF). S-AF: Use S-AF for normal photography. In this mode, the camera focuses each time the Shutter button is pressed down halfway.
STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE) Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines the brightness of the image. The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (automatic exposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness of the subject and the sensitivity setting.
