Panasonic DMC-FZ20GN User Manual

Recording pictures (advanced)

• When setting to 3-area-focusing, pictures 

may become still while being focused on, 
however, this is not a malfunction.

• When using the digital zoom or when you 

take pictures in dark places, the AF area 
is displayed on the centre of the screen 
with a size wider than usual.

• When multiple AF areas (max. 9 areas) 

light at the same time, the camera is 
focusing on all the AF areas.
The focus position is not predetermined 
because it is set to the position the 
camera automatically determines at the 
time of focusing. If you want to determine 
the focus position to take pictures, switch 
the AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode.

This mode allows you to compose a picture 
more easily by always focusing on the 
subject.
When the AF mode is set to 
1-area-focusing or spot-focusing, the time 
required for focusing when pressing the 
shutter button halfway will be reduced.
• When it is set to [ON], the [

] indication 

appears.

• When setting the manual focus, you 

cannot use the continuous AF.

• The battery may be consumed faster than 

usual.

• It may take time to focus on the subject 

after rotating the zoom lever from Wide to 
Tele or suddenly changing the subject 
from a distant one to a nearby one.

• Press the shutter button halfway again 

when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
