i A target mark & on the LCD monitor 

shows the area the camera is 
focusing on.

i The camera automatically 

determines the correct focus by 
measuring from 9 different focus 
points within the shooting area. If the 
target mark is at a position that is 
different from the point you wish to 
focus on, you can refocus, for 
example, by changing the shooting 
angle.

i The large target mark appears when 

the camera focuses on a wide area 
in the center of the screen.

i By assigning an operation shortcut to the SET button (page 82), you can 

set the autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When the exposure 
setting is fixed, the 

 icon appears on the LCD monitor; when the 

autofocus setting is fixed, the 

 icon appears on the LCD monitor.

i When the focus setting or scene mode setting  (pages 72 and 75) is 

changed, the focus lock and AE lock are released.

i The shutter speed and aperture settings are shown on the Recording 

Screen.

If the camera shake icon > appears...

i During photo shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility that 

the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the camera 
shake icon may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod to 
stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to 
Auto (page 41).

i When shooting with the scene mode function set to the fireworks 

 

mode, the camera shake icon always appears, but this is normal.

i When shooting in dimly lit conditions, it may take some time to save the 

data to the card.

i When the [O] button is pressed halfway, the image in the LCD monitor 

may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image processing and is 
not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will not affect your 
images in any way.
