Using auto focusing effectively
If it is difficult to focus on a subject while recording a movie, press PHOTO halfway down 
to activate [Single-shot AF] (page 31) temporarily. This will make focusing easier.
z
Using manual focusing effectively
Use manual focusing to record the following subjects.
• A subject behind a window covered with raindrops.
• A subject behind a glass window with horizontal stripes.
• A subject with little contrast between the subject and its background.
• When an object in the foreground is in focus, but you want to shift to focus on a subject in 
the background.
Tip on focusing
Focus on the subject with the telephoto side of zoom first, and then move the zoom toward 
the wide side. When recording a close-up image, focus on the subject with the wide end of 
zoom.
“Focus fixing” is convenient when you can predict the distance 
to the subject. With “Focus fixing,” you can fix the focus in 
advance to the distance at which the subject is to pass.
