• When you press the shutter button, the 
LCD monitor may become bright or dark 
for a moment however the recorded 
picture will not be affected. 
• Be careful not to move the camera when 
you press the shutter button.

lamp with your fingers or other objects.

∫ Exposure (P39)
If you select normal picture mode [
] the 
exposure is automatically adjusted to an 
appropriate exposure (AE=Auto Exposure). 
However, depending on recording 
conditions such as the backlight, the 
picture will become dark.
In this case, compensate the exposure. 
This allows you to take bright pictures.
∫ Focusing (P23, 40)
If you select normal picture mode [
], the 
picture is automatically focused (AF= Auto 
Focus). However, one of the subjects in the 
picture may not be properly focused. The 
focus range is 50 cm (1.64 feet) to 
¶.
– When there are both near and distant 
subjects in a scene.
– When there is dirt or dust on glass 
between the lens and the subject.
– When there are illuminated or glittering 
objects around the subject.
– When taking a picture in dark places.
– When the subject is moving fast.
– When the scene has low contrast.
– When recording a very bright subject.
– When taking close-up pictures of a 
subject.
– When jitter occurs.
Try the AF/AE lock technique or macro 
mode.
For information on the face detection 
function, read P61.
∫ Color (P56, 57)
The color of the subject will differ if the 
color of the light surrounding it differs such 
as when the light comes from sunlight or 
halogen lighting. However, this unit 
automatically adjusts the hue to one close 
to real life. (auto white balance)
Set the white balance if you want to 
change the hue you get with auto white 
balance.
Adjust the white balance finely for 
additional white balance adjustment. 
∫ When you want to take a picture of a 
subject outside the AF area (AF/AE 
Lock)
When recording a picture of people with a 
composition like the following picture, you 
will not be able to focus the camera on the 
subject because the people are outside the 
AF area.
In this case,
1 Aim the AF area at the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to 
fix the focus and the exposure.
• The focus indication lights when the 
subject is focused.
Press and hold the shutter button 
halfway while moving the camera as 
you compose the picture.
4 Press the shutter button fully.
• You can repeatedly retry AF/AE lock 
before pressing the shutter button fully.
We recommend that you use the face 
detection function when taking pictures 
of people. (P61)
