Sony cyber-shot dsc-h2 User Manual

• AF stands for Auto Focus.

amount of vibration.

• When you use Digital Zoom or AF Illuminator, priority AF movement is given to subjects in or near the 

center of the frame. In this case the 

, 

 or 

 indicator flashes and the AF range finder frame is 

not displayed.

Flexible Spot AF
(

)

Focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area.
Flexible Spot AF lets you shoot in the desired image 
composition.

• To set the Flexible Spot AF, see the following procedure.
• This is useful when you shoot using a tripod and the subject is 

out of the center area.

• When shooting a moving subject, take care that the subject does 

not deviate from the range finder frame.

Manual Focus

Focuses on the subject using a previously set distance to the 
subject.

• To set distance, see page 40.
• When shooting a subject through a net or through window glass, 

it is difficult to get the proper focus in auto focus mode. In these 
cases, the manual focus mode is convenient.
