• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera is left 

without battery for approximately 1 day. Also, the date and time setting will be canceled 
earlier than this if the battery has been in the camera for a short period of time. Before taking 
important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.
When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and then 

recompose your picture.

• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].

g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 24)

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject you want to 

shoot and lock the focus (by pressing the shutter button halfway). Then recompose your 
picture and press the shutter button completely as the subject enters the frame.

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The green lamp on 

the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same distance as 
the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the subject has no 
vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using the focus lock function 
by pressing the shutter button halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position 
while keeping the button pressed halfway and take the picture.

Be sure to hold the camera firmly with both hands and press the shutter button slowly so as to 
avoid moving the camera. You can reduce the blur when shooting the picture in 

h mode.

g “h Shooting pictures using digital image stabilization” (P. 12)

Pictures are more likely to be blurry when:

• images are shot at a high-magnification zoom setting, i.e. using both optical zoom and digital 

zoom functions,

• the object is dark and the shutter speed is slow, or
• scene modes where the flash is turned off and/or the shutter speed is slow.
