Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects

The autofocus may not work well on the following types of subject.

- Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
- Subjects mixing close and far objects
- Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition
- Subjects that are moving quickly

To shoot these subjects, first aim the camera at an object at a similar distance, lock the
focus and recompose the image with the desired subject, or use the manual focus.

• When shooting through glass, approach as closely as possible to avoid reflections

off the glass.

Aim the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder at an object
at a similar distance to the subject you wish to shoot.

Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus.

• The AE setting will also lock when you do this. The exposure may occasionally

be incorrect if the difference between the two items is too great. Use method 2
or the AE lock procedure when this happens.

Keep it pressed while you recompose and press the shutter
button all the way to shoot the image.

Aim the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder at an object
at a similar distance to the subject you wish to shoot.

Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus. Keep it
pressed and press the 

 button.

• The 

 icon will appear in the display panel, and the   icon in the LCD

monitor or viewfinder.

• The focus setting will lock even if the shutter button and MF button are released.
• The manual focus setting will cancel if the MF button is pressed again.
