Recording pictures (advanced)

When taking a picture with prefocus, set 
the button for starting AF (Auto focus) to 
[FOCUS] on [AF TRIGGER].
Prefocus is a technique to focus on the 
point where you take a picture of the 
subject with quick motion.
This function is suitable when the distance 
between the camera and the subject is 
pre-determined.

want to focus. (P30)

2 Press the [FOCUS] button.

When the subject is focused, the AF area 
1 turns from white to green and the 
focus indication 

2 lights up for 1 second.
