2.  The camera will set the focus on the subject located in the center of the picture.  Align the square

located in the center of the LCD over the subject.  Subjects outside this square may not be in focus if
they are closer or farther away.  The depth of field for close-up pictures is only a few inches.

3.  The camera’s auto focus system needs light to “see” the subject.  In darkness, the camera uses the

red focusing light located next to the camera’s flash to illuminate the subject.  You can also use
another light source, like an underwater flash light, to illuminate the subject.

4.  When you push the shutter button _ way, the camera will set the focus and exposure on the subject.

The focusing square in the center of the LCD will be blue if the camera has accurately determined the
correct shooting distance.  If this square is yellow, the camera may not be certain of the exact shooting
distance and will use a best estimate.

5.  The Shark mode has been enabled but the shooting distance has changed.  To correctly use the

Shark mode, aim the camera at the subject and push the OK button. The camera will lock the focus on
the subject.  A Shark icon will appear on the LCD indicating the Shark mode is enabled.  If you change
your shooting distance, you must reset the Shark mode.  Push the OK button again to disable the
Shark mode.
