Advanced recording
This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is selected separately in the
Digital Subject Program, movie, and P, A, S, and M exposure-mode menus. When using Digital
Subject Programs, the focus mode is reset when the camera is turned off.
Focus modes
When using the shutter-priority, aperture-priori-
ty, or manual exposure modes (p. 36 - 38) with
manual focus, press the central button of the
controller to switch between using the up/down
keys to focus or to adjust the exposure. The
active function is indicated in blue.
When focusing manually, a scale shows the approximate subject
distance. The scale changes depending on the focusing range.
Use the up/down controller keys to focus; the monitor image is
automatically magnified by a maximum of 2.5X depending on
the digital zoom setting; the magnifier indicator is displayed. The
live image returns to normal after two seconds, when zooming,
or when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.
With the P, A, S, or M exposure modes or movie
recording, the autofocus mode can be specified
between single-shot AF and continuous AF in sec-
tion 2 of the menu (p. 44). Single-shot AF, indicat-
ed by S on the monitor, allows the focus to be
locked before recording the image, see the basic
recording section.
Continuous AF, indicated by C, continually focus-
es the camera. When capturing still images, the
camera continues to focus when the shutter-
release button is held partway down. In movie
recording, focus is locked when the shutter-
release button is partway down, but it is continu-
ally adjusted during recording.
