Using the shooting function
73
Subjects that may require special focusing:
Using the autofocus, it is hard to focus on the following subjects. In such
cases, use the focus lock shooting feature (page 73) or manual focus
(page 75).
• A subject that is low in contrast, such as blue sky or a white wall.
• Two subjects at different distances overlapping in the AF area.
• A subject that is composed of repeating patterns, such as the facade of a
building.
• A subject that is very bright or glittering, such as the sun, the body of an
automobile, or the surface of water.
To measure the exact distance to the subject
Note
• If the subject is closer than the minimum shooting distance of the attached lens, the
focus cannot be confirmed. Make sure you put enough distance between the subject
and the camera.
The mark located on the top of the
camera shows the location of the image
sensor*. When you measure the exact
distance between the camera and the
subject, refer to the position of the
horizontal line.
* The image sensor is the part of the
camera that acts as the film.
Shooting with your desired composition (Focus-lock)
1 Place the subject within the AF
area and press the shutter button
halfway down.
