Advanced (Recording pictures)
This mode makes it easy to pick out the subject on which to focus and blurs the
background to make the subject stand out.
∫ Setting the AF area
1 Move the AF area using 3/4/2/1.
• You can position the AF area anywhere on the screen (except at the edges).
• Press [‚] to return the AF area to the centre of the screen.
2 Take the picture.
Note
• It will be a normal motion picture recording during the motion picture recording.
• Quick AF is performed automatically.
• Set the [WHITE BALANCE] (P78) using the Quick Menu (P32).
• AF area setting screen is displayed by pressing
3/4/2/1.
• The obtained effects will differ depending on factors such as the distance to the subject and
background, and the type of lens used. For best results, we recommend getting as close as
possible to the subject when taking pictures. (P76)
Flowers outdoors are recorded with natural colours in macro settings. The guide lines are
displayed. (P59)
∫ Technique for Flower Mode
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
Note
• The focus range is different depending on lens used. Refer to “About the focus distance
reference mark
” on P76 for the focus range.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
• Close-up regions are prioritised when taking pictures, and so time is required to focus if you
take a picture of a distant subject.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
•
If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the subject correctly.
You can take pictures of food with a natural hue without being affected by the ambient light
in restaurants etc.
∫ Technique for Food Mode
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
Note
• Refer to [FLOWER] for other information about this mode.
